In bssmap, the L3 Infor IE needs to be dissected by the GSM or UMTS dissector
depending on the target cell RAT, but this is not always present in the PDU
being dissected.  This small patch tracks the last indicated RAT in the SCCP
stream, giving a better chance of choosing the correct dissector.

In the attached trace file (MTP3 option ITU), look at frame 15, the original
dissector code guesses that the target RAT is GSM, and the L3 info fails to
dissect.  The new dissector code remebers that the target cell (in frame 14) is
UMTS, and calls the correct dissector.  This only works if SCCP trace is
enabled, but it warns you if it is disabled.
