Subject: [PATCH 3.10 29/41] xen-netback: remove pointless clause from if statement

3.10-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Paul Durrant <Paul.Durrant@...rix.com>

[ Upstream commit 0576eddf24df716d8570ef8ca11452a9f98eaab2 ]

This patch removes a test in start_new_rx_buffer() that checks whether
a copy operation is less than MAX_BUFFER_OFFSET in length, since
MAX_BUFFER_OFFSET is defined to be PAGE_SIZE and the only caller of
start_new_rx_buffer() already limits copy operations to PAGE_SIZE or less.
