Error codes are stored in err, but the return value is always 0.  Return
err instead.

The semantic match that finds this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>
@r@
local idexpression x;
constant C;
@@

if (...) { ...
  x = -C
  ... when != x
(
  return <+...x...+>;
|
  return NULL;
|
  return;
|
* return ...;
)
}
// </smpl>

This changes the semantics of the function and has not been tested.

It restores the semantics to what they should be and used to be.  This
probably happened during the introduction of proper refcounting and
locking into the AX.25 stack.  Looks fine to me.
