Subject: [PATCH 5.12 003/700] Bluetooth: Remove spurious error message

From: Szymon Janc <szymon.janc@...ecoup.pl>

commit 1c58e933aba23f68c0d3f192f7cc6eed8fabd694 upstream.

Even with rate limited reporting this is very spammy and since
it is remote device that is providing bogus data there is no
need to report this as error.

Since real_len variable was used only to allow conditional error
message it is now also removed.
