A null pointer dereference can happen when attempting to access the
"gsm->receive()" function in gsmld_receive_buf(). Currently, the code
assumes that gsm->recieve is only called after MUX activation.
Since the gsmld_receive_buf() function can be accessed without the need to
initialize the MUX, the gsm->receive() function will not be set and a
NULL pointer dereference will occur.

Fix this by avoiding the call to "gsm->receive()" in case the function is
not initialized by adding a sanity check.
