syzbot is reporting sleep in atomic context, for gsmld_write() is calling
con_write() with spinlock held and IRQs disabled.

Since n_gsm is designed to be used for serial port, reject attaching to
virtual consoles and PTY devices, by checking tty's device major/minor
numbers at gsmld_open().

That is a lot of hard-coded magic numbers, why aren't these defined
anywhere?

But really, this is only for fuzz testers, why can't they just not ever
bind this to a console?  Why do we have to have these checks in the
kernel to prevent userspace from doing dumb things that no real
userspace will ever do?

thanks,
