redirect expr's output to /dev/null

If you run ssh-copy-id with the -i option and specify a file name ending in .pub, it prints a number before doing anything.

This is because the expr call on line 14 prints the number of characters matched.

The output of expr should be redirected to /dev/null.

Current in 4.7p1 on Fedora.
