bpf: Remove unnecessary ring buffer size check

Browse source

The theoretical maximum size of ring buffer is about 64GB, but now the
size of ring buffer is specified by max_entries in bpf_attr and its
maximum value is (4GB - 1), and it won't be possible for overflow.

So just remove the unnecessary size check in ringbuf_map_alloc() but
keep the comments for possible extension in future.
