Subject: [PATCH] hysdn: Fix writing outside the field on 64 bits

ifa_local is assumed to be unsigned long which lead to writing the address at dev->dev_addr-2 instead of +2

noticed thanks to gcc:

drivers/isdn/hysdn/hysdn_net.c: In function â€˜net_openâ€™:
drivers/isdn/hysdn/hysdn_net.c:91: warning: array subscript is below array bounds
