Subject: [PATCH 10/12] [DCCP]: Remove unused and redundant validation functions

From: Gerrit Renker <gerrit@....abdn.ac.uk>

This removes two inlines which were both called in a single function only:

 1) dccp_feat_change() is always called with either DCCPO_CHANGE_L or DCCPO_CHANGE_R as argument
    * from dccp_set_socktopt_change() via do_dccp_setsockopt() with DCCP_SOCKOPT_CHANGE_R/L
    * from __dccp_feat_init() via dccp_feat_init() also with DCCP_SOCKOPT_CHANGE_R/L.

    Hence the dccp_feat_is_valid_type() is completely unnecessary and always returns true.

 2) Due to (1), the length test reduces to 'len >= 4', which in turn makes
    dccp_feat_is_valid_length() unnecessary.

Furthermore, the inline function dccp_feat_is_reserved() was unfolded,
since only called in a single place.
