btrfs: qgroup: delete unnecessary check in btrfs_qgroup_check_inherit()
This check "if (inherit->num_qgroups > PAGE_SIZE)" is confusing and
unnecessary.
The problem with the check is that static checkers flag it as a
potential mixup of between units of bytes vs number of elements.
Fortunately, the check can safely be deleted because the next check is
correct and applies an even stricter limit:
if (size != struct_size(inherit, qgroups, inherit->num_qgroups))
return -EINVAL;
The "inherit" struct ends in a variable array of __u64 and
"inherit->num_qgroups" is the number of elements in the array. At the
start of the function we check that:
if (size < sizeof(*inherit) || size > PAGE_SIZE)
return -EINVAL;
Thus, since we verify that the whole struct fits within one page, that
means that the number of elements in the inherit->qgroups[] array must
be less than PAGE_SIZE.
