This reverts commit 9b9c8195f3f0d74a826077fc1c01b9ee74907239.
The commit above is reverted as it did not solve the original issue.
gsm_cleanup_mux() tries to free up the virtual ttys by calling
gsm_dlci_release() for each available DLCI. There, dlci_put() is called to
decrease the reference counter for the DLCI via tty_port_put() which
finally calls gsm_dlci_free(). This already clears the pointer which is
being checked in gsm_cleanup_mux() before calling gsm_dlci_release().
Therefore, it is not necessary to clear this pointer in gsm_cleanup_mux()
as done in the reverted commit. The commit introduces a null pointer
dereference:

The actual issue is that nothing guards dlci_put() from being called
multiple times while the tty driver was triggered but did not yet finished
calling gsm_dlci_free().
