net/ax25: Use available error codes 

Author: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk>

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/)

// 
@r@
local idexpression x;
constant C;
@@

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