[Linux-cachefs] [PATCH] cachefiles: remove always false 'datalen < 0' expression

From: Austin Kim <austin.kim at lge.com>

Since 'datalen' is declared as size_t, the 'datalen < 0' expression
is always false. Where size_t is defined as below;

   typedef unsigned long __kernel_ulong_t;
   typedef __kernel_ulong_t __kernel_size_t;
   typedef __kernel_size_t size_t;

So it had better remove unnecessary 'always false' expression.
