Subject: [PATCH] ARM: module: Drop 'rel->r_offset < 0' always false statement

Since rel->r_offset is declared as Elf32_Addr,
this value is always non-negative.
typedef struct elf32_rel {
	  Elf32_Addr	r_offset;
	    Elf32_Word	r_info;
} Elf32_Rel;

typedef __u32	Elf32_Addr;
typedef unsigned int __u32;

Drop 'rel->r_offset < 0' statement which is always false.
