Subject: [PATCH net-next-2.6 3/9] sctp: remove redundant check when walking
 through a list of TLV parameters

From: Shan Wei <shanwei@...fujitsu.com>

When  pos.v <= (void *)chunk + end - ntohs(pos.p->length) and
ntohs(pos.p->length) >= sizeof(sctp_paramhdr_t) these two expressions are all true,
pos.v <= (void *)chunk + end - sizeof(sctp_paramhdr_t) *must* be true.

This patch removes this kind of redundant check.
It's same to  _sctp_walk_errors macro.
