Subject: [PATCH] scsi: pmcraid: remove redundant check to see if request_size is less than zero

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

The 2nd check to see if request_size is less than zero is redundant
because the first check takes error exit path on this condition. So,
since it is redundant, remove it.
