Right now, a EPS Attach Request message is decoded as:
Non-Access-Stratum (NAS)PDU
    0000 .... = Security header type: Plain NAS message, not security protected
(0)
    .... 0111 = Protocol discriminator: EPS mobility management messages (7)

    0... .... = Type of security context flag (TSC): Native security context

                        Secondary DNS server IP address: 0.0.0.0

Note that the Request Type IE in the PDN Connectivity Request piggybacked
message is decoded as "Initial attach".

According to 3GPP 24.301 8.6.0 chapter 9.9.4.14, the Request Type IE should be
decoded as in 3GPP TS 24.008 chapter 10.5.6.17.

The attached patch use the corresponding dissection function in
packet-gsm_a_gm.c file. It also adds a missing dissection of Request Type in
the 2G/3G Activate PDP Context Request message.
Once applied, you get:
Non-Access-Stratum (NAS)PDU
