Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: remove dead code after sk_data_ready change

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

As a followup to commit 676d23690fb ("net: Fix use after free by
removing length arg from sk_data_ready callbacks"), we can remove
some useless code in sock_queue_rcv_skb() and rxrpc_queue_rcv_skb()

Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>
