Subject: [iproute PATCH v2 1/3] iproute_lwtunnel: csum_mode value checking was ineffective

ila_csum_name2mode() returning -1 on error but being declared as
returning __u8 doesn't make much sense. Change the code to correctly
detect this issue. Checking for __u8 overruns shouldn't be necessary
though since ila_csum_name2mode() return values are well-defined.
