In GSMTAP pseudo-header, when type field is set to GSMTAP_TYPE_ABIS the
gsm_a_dtap dissector should be called.

It is not the case, i.e. no GSM specific dissector is called at all; that's
means that GSM Network Access Stratum PDUs (MM,CC,SMS,...) will not be decoded
when being encapsulated in GSMTAP PDUs.

Please find attached a capture file (gsm.pcap) that highlights the bug: when
loading this file with wireshark v1.6.0, at timestamp 00:00:52:480 you will see
that GSMTAP header will be correcly decoded but data payload is not understood
as a gsm_a_dtap packet.(it should be understood as L3 GSM MM Location Updating
Accept message).

When applying the attached patch (GSMTAP_Abis_interface_mgt.patch), packet at
timestamp 00:00:52:480 will be correctly understood as a GSM L3 message.
