Subject: [iproute2][PATCH] tc: mirred target: do not report non-existing devices

Currently, if a mirred target device is removed, `tc filter show`
does not reveal the fact. Instead, it replaces the original name of the
device with the default output of ll_map:ll_idx_n2a().

This is unfortunate, since one cannot differ between this case and a valid
mirroring target device named 'if17'.

It seems that the original code meant to report an error message in this
case, but it does not, since ll_index_to_name() never returns 0. I would
not like to bail out in case of an error, since the user would still be
interested to know what are the other details of the action.
