net: remove redundant input checks in SIOCSIFTXQLEN case of dev_ifsioc
The cited patch added a call to dev_change_tx_queue_len in
SIOCSIFTXQLEN case.
This obsoletes the new len comparison check done before the function call.
Remove it here.
For the desicion of keep/remove the negative value check, we examine the
range check in dev_change_tx_queue_len.
On 64-bit we will fail with -ERANGE. The 32-bit int ifr_qlen will be sign
extended to 64-bits when it is passed into dev_change_tx_queue_len(). And
then for negative values this test triggers:
if (new_len != (unsigned int)new_len)
return -ERANGE;
because:
if (0xffffffffWHATEVER != 0x00000000WHATEVER)
On 32-bit the signed value will be accepted, changing behavior.
Therefore, the negative value check is kept.
