Subject: [PATCH 05/53] netfilter: ftp: Remove the useless dlen==0 condition check in find_pattern

From: Gao Feng <fgao@...ai8.com>

The caller function "help" has already make sure the datalen could not be zero
before invoke find_pattern as a parameter by the following codes

        if (dataoff >= skb->len) {
                pr_debug("ftp: dataoff(%u) >= skblen(%u)\n", dataoff,
                         skb->len);
                return NF_ACCEPT;
        }
        datalen = skb->len - dataoff;

And the latter codes "ends_in_nl = (fb_ptr[datalen - 1] == '\n');" use datalen
directly without checking if it is zero.

So it is unneccessary to check it in find_pattern too.
