Subject: [PATCH net] rtnetlink: Reject negative ifindexes in RTM_NEWLINK

Negative ifindexes are illegal, but the kernel does not validate the
ifindex in the ancillary header of RTM_NEWLINK messages, resulting in
the kernel generating a warning [1] when such an ifindex is specified.

Fix by rejecting negative ifindexes.
