Due to a misplaced parenthesis, the expression

which expands to

never evaluates to true. Therefore, when sending packets with
PF_PACKET/SOCK_DGRAM, packet_snd() does not abort as intended
if the creation of the layer 2 header fails.

Spotted by Coverity - CID 1259975 ("Operands don't affect result").

Fixes: 9c7077622dd9 ("packet: make packet_snd fail on len smaller than l2 
header")
