  The err->errno value reported by netlink is already negative.

Prepending ierr->errno with '-' when forwarding it to
the caller results in a positive value and thus not
detected as error.

Fix error handling in sitnl by not negating the sign of
the value returned by sitnl_send() in case of generic error.

While at it, print the errno in decimal form along with
its string represenation.
