Backports of 41fc014332d9 ("fib_rules: fix fib rule dumps across
multiple skbs") introduced a regression in "ip rule show" - it ends up
dumping the first rule over and over and never exiting, because 3.19
and earlier are missing commit 053c095a82cf ("netlink: make
nlmsg_end() and genlmsg_end() void"), so fib_nl_fill_rule() ends up
returning skb->len (i.e. > 0) in the success case.
Fix this by checking the return code for < 0 instead of != 0.

Hi, this is needed for all stable trees earlier than 4.0 that have
picked up 41fc014332d9; so far looks like at least 3.10.y and 3.14.y
have made such releases.Thanks Roland, I'm queuing this fix for the 3.16 kernel as well. Cheers, -- Luís
