Subject: [PATCH 3/4] NET: NETROM: Cleanup argument SIOCADDRT ioctl argument
 checking.

nr_route.ndigis is unsigned int so the nr_route.ndigis < 0 expression is
never true and can be dropped.  Doing the nr_ax25_dev_get call later
allows the nr_route.ndigis test to bail out without having to dev_put.
