[ Upstream commit 30188bd7838c16a98a520db1fe9df01ffc6ed368 ]
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.
