Patch to fix SNMP lock-up

The FreeBSD SNMP helper cyg_snmp_get_if() exhibits a bug when
passed if_num<=0: it loops 2^32 times -- walking through all of
memory and then returning a rogue pointer.

This can be demonstrated by sending an eCos-based device an SMP
"get" request for OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.6.0.  Typical behavior
is that the device will lock up for several seconds ans the
SNMP management thread loops through all of memory.

The problem didn't exist in the helper routine for the NetBSD.

The attached patch fixes the problem.

Grant, you've clearly researched this issue. The patch is small and unlikely to
break anything. I'll give others a day or two to comment and then check it in.
