Subject: [PATCH v3 net-next 1/1] plca.c: fix obvious mistake in checking
 retval

Revert a wrong fix that was done during the review process. The
intention was to substitute "if(ret < 0)" with "if(ret)".
Unfortunately, the intended fix did not meet the code.
Besides, after additional review, it was decided that "if(ret < 0)"
was actually the right thing to do.

Fixes: 8580e16c28f3 ("net/ethtool: add netlink interface for the PLCA RS")
