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.
