ppp, slip: Validate VJ compression slot parameters completely
Currently slhc_init() treats out-of-range values of rslots and tslots as equivalent to 0, except that if tslots is too large it will dereference a null pointer (CVE-2015-7799). Add a range-check at the top of the function and make it return an ERR_PTR() on error instead of NULL. Change the callers accordingly. Compile-tested only.
