[SPARK-7651] [MLLIB] [PYSPARK] GMM predict, predictSoft should raise error on bad input

In the Python API for Gaussian Mixture Model, predict() and predictSoft() methods should raise an error when the input argument is not an RDD.

Author: FlytxtRnD <meethu.mathew@flytxt.com>

Closes #6180 from FlytxtRnD/GmmPredictException and squashes the following commits:
