[iproute PATCH 7/7] lib/ll_addr: improve ll_addr_n2a() a bit

[Phil Sutter <phil@nwl.cc>]

Apart from making the code a bit more compact and efficient, this also
prevents a potential buffer overflow if the passed buffer is really too
small: Although correctly decrementing the size parameter passed to
snprintf, it could become negative which would then wrap since snprintf
uses (unsigned) size_t for the parameter.
