net/mlx5: fix invalid network interface index
Network interface indices being unsigned, an invalid index or error is
normally expressed through a zero value (see if_nametoindex()).
mlx5_ifindex() has a signed return type for negative values in case of
error. Since mlx5_nl.c does not check for errors, these may be fed back as
invalid interfaces indices to subsequent system calls. This usage would
have been correct if mlx5_ifindex() returned a zero value instead.
This patch makes mlx5_ifindex() unsigned for convenience.
