    rtnetlink: Reject negative ifindexes in RTM_NEWLINK
    
    [ 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.
