net: fib_notifier: don't return positive values on fib registration

Browse Source 
The function fib6_walk_continue() cannot return a positive value when
called from register_fib_notifier(), but ignoring causes static analyzer to
generate warnings in users of register_fib_notifier() that try to convert
returned error code to pointer with ERR_PTR(). Handle such case by
explicitly checking for positive error values and converting them to
-EINVAL in fib6_tables_dump().
