Subject: [PATCH net-next] netfilter: nfnetlink_hook: fix check for snprintf()
 overflow

The kernel version of snprintf() can't return negatives.  The
"ret > (int)sizeof(sym)" check is off by one because and it should be
>=.  Finally, we need to set a negative error code.

Fixes: e2cf17d3774c ("netfilter: add new hook nfnl subsystem")
