From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@xxxxxxxxxx> e2fsck_pass1_check_symlink() verifies that the symlink inode's i_size is less than the buffer length (60 for fast symlinks, fs->blocksize for slow symlinks). But it also verifies that len == i_size && len < buflen, which already implies i_size < buflen. Thus, remove the redundant checks of i_size.
