tty: n_gsm: add ioctl to map serial device to mux'ed tty
Guessing the first tty for a gsm0710 multiplexed serial device is not currently possible, which makes it racy to use with multiple modems. Add a way to map the physical serial tty to its related mux devices using an ioctl.

Note that after closing the physical port the modem is still in multiplexing
mode. This may prevent a successful re-opening of the port later. To avoid
