xsk: Elide base_addr comparison in xp_unaligned_validate_desc
Remove redundant (base_addr >= pool->addrs_cnt) comparison from the
conditional.
In particular, addr is computed as:
addr = base_addr + offset
... where base_addr and offset are stored as 48-bit and 16-bit unsigned
integers, respectively. The above sum cannot overflow u64 since base_addr
has a maximum value of 0x0000ffffffffffff and offset has a maximum value
of 0xffff (implying a maximum sum of 0x000100000000fffe). Since overflow
is impossible, it follows that addr >= base_addr.
Now if (base_addr >= pool->addrs_cnt), then clearly:
addr >= base_addr
>= pool->addrs_cnt
Thus, (base_addr >= pool->addrs_cnt) implies (addr >= pool->addrs_cnt).
Subsequently, the former comparison is unnecessary in the conditional
since for any boolean expressions A and B, (A || B) && (A -> B) is
equivalent to B.
