tty: n_gsm: fix user open not possible at responder until initiator open

After setting up the control channel on both sides the responder side may
want to open a virtual tty to listen on until the initiator starts an
application on a user channel. The current implementation allows the
open() but no other operation, like termios. These fail with EINVAL.
The responder sided application has no means to detect an open by the
initiator sided application this way. And the initiator sided applications
usually expect the responder sided application to listen on the user
channel upon open.
Set the user channel into half-open state on responder side once a user
application opens the virtual tty to allow IO operations on it.
Furthermore, keep the user channel constipated until the initiator side
opens it to give the responder sided application the chance to detect the
new connection and to avoid data loss if the responder sided application
starts sending before the user channel is open.
