[PATCH v2 5/9] tty: n_gsm: fix non flow control frames during mux flow off

n_gsm is based on the 3GPP 07.010 and its newer version is the 3GPP 27.010.
See https://portal.3gpp.org/desktopmodules/Specifications/SpecificationDetails.aspx?specificationId=1516
The changes from 07.010 to 27.010 are non-functional. Therefore, I refer to
the newer 27.010 here. Chapter 5.4.6.3.6 states that FCoff stops the
transmission on all channels except the control channel. This is already
implemented in gsm_data_kick(). However, chapter 5.4.8.1 explains that this
shall result in the same behavior as software flow control on the ldisc in
advanced option mode. That means only flow control frames shall be sent
during flow off. The current implementation does not consider this case.

Change gsm_data_kick() to send only flow control frames if constipated to
abide the standard. gsm_read_ea_val() and gsm_is_flow_ctrl_msg() are
introduced as helper functions for this.
It is planned to use gsm_read_ea_val() in later code cleanups for other
functions, too.
