[ldv-project] [PATCH v4 1/2] tty: n_gsm: replace kicktimer with delayed_work

A kick_timer timer_list is replaced with kick_timeout delayed_work to be
able to synchronize with mutexes as a prerequisite for the introduction
of tx_mutex.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller.

Fixes: c568f7086c6e ("tty: n_gsm: fix missing timer to handle stalled links")

v1->v2: sorry, now adapted patch from 5.10 to upstream
v2->v3: replaced a kick_timer with a delayed_work
v3->v4: separated kick_timer and tx_mutex into different patches
