From: Hangbin Liu <liuhangbin@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 29e8e659f984be00d75ec5fef4e37c88def72712 ] packet_sock xmit could be dev_queue_xmit, which also returns negative errors. So only checking positive errors is not enough, or userspace sendmsg may return success while packet is not send out. Move the net_xmit_errno() assignment in the braces as checkpatch.pl said do not use assignment in if condition.
