Subject: [PATCH net-next 3/3] tipc: remove redundant checking for the number of iovecs in a send request

From: Ying Xue <ying.xue@...driver.com>

As the number of iovecs in a send request is already limited within
UIO_MAXIOV(i.e. 1024) in __sys_sendmsg(), it's unnecessary to check it
again in TIPC stack.
