dhcp.c: handle_packet() calls get_(raw|cooked)_packet(), which returns a

Browse Source 
signed value where values <0 are errors and >= 0 are lengths.  Convert
to an unsigned length value if the return is a length.

Further, there is a real bug if get_(raw|cooked)_packet() returns
an error.  handle_packet() should return rather than continuing to validate
the packet.  The packet validation will almost surely fail, and the
negative values of len are constrained to [-1,-2], and the values are
determined by errors that are hard to control, so it is extremely
unlikely that there are any security issues with this bug.

The fix is trivial; the obviously-missing return statement bails out when
there's a problem fetching a packet and ndhc immediately goes back to
listening for another packet.
