1. Kernel commit a02e4b7 set the default hoplimit as zero.
2. Kernel should return the correct values and iproute should show what kernel
returns, not invent magic transformations.

This is going to cause a mess with older kernels. Since val will be -1
people will see that printed as unsigned and freak.
