nr_route.ndigis is unsigned int so the nr_route.ndigis < 0 expression is
never true and can be dropped.  Doing the nr_ax25_dev_get call later
allows the nr_route.ndigis test to bail out without having to dev_put.

I realy do not know if that matters but some use AX25_MAX_DIGIS as array
and therefore it should be >=AX25_MAX_DIGIS.
