[Linux-cachefs] [PATCH] fs/cachefiles/daemon.c: remove the checking about "unsigned value whether less than zero".

'datalen', 'fstop', and 'bstop' are all unsigned type which is never
less than zero. Although they can not cause real issue, it is still
better to remove them.

The related warning (allmodconfig for S5PV210, with "EXTRA_CFLAGS=-W"):

  fs/cachefiles/daemon.c:225:2: warning: comparison of unsigned expression < 0 is always false [-Wtype-limits]
  fs/cachefiles/daemon.c:389:2: warning: comparison of unsigned expression < 0 is always false [-Wtype-limits]
  fs/cachefiles/daemon.c:461:2: warning: comparison of unsigned expression < 0 is always false [-Wtype-limits]
