tun: allow positive return values on dev_get_valid_name() call
[ Upstream commit 5c25f65fd1e42685f7ccd80e0621829c105785d9 ]
If the name argument of dev_get_valid_name() contains "%d", it will try
to assign it a unit number in __dev__alloc_name() and return either the
unit number (>= 0) or an error code (< 0).
Considering positive values as error values prevent tun device creations
relying this mechanism, therefor we should only consider negative values
as errors here.
