The original logic is what's intended.  What's going on here is that
the argument to -C is optional (for backwards compatibility reasons),
and we know it's always going to be a positive integer, since it's a
file descriptor.  If the next argument begins with a '-', it must be
an option specifier, and the argument to -C was missing.  If the next
argument does not begin with a '-', then we try to parse it as an
integer, and we rely on the fact that in general the device specifier
to fsck generally begins with a '/', and if not, isn't going to be
parseable as a number.
