[PATCH] net: change return values in mac_pton() function

["Arend van Spriel" <arend@broadcom.com>]

The original commit adding this function noted a diverge from usual
0=success/-E=fail, but no motivation for it. To stay consistent this
commit adheres to the usual approach. The callers check for result
is changed from 'if(!mac_pton(x, y))' to 'if(mac_pton(x,y) < 0)'.
