[ Upstream commit aad06212d36cf34859428a0a279e5c14ee5c9e26 ]

In commit e3a77561e7d32 ("tipc: split up function tipc_msg_eval()"),
we have updated the function tipc_msg_lookup_dest() to set the error
codes to negative values at destination lookup failures. Thus when
the function sets the error code to -TIPC_ERR_NO_NAME, its inserted
into the 4 bit error field of the message header as 0xf instead of
TIPC_ERR_NO_NAME (1). The value 0xf is an unknown error code.

In this commit, we set only positive error code.
