I think this was just defensive coding to ensure that the assignment to iov_len
can't overflow regardless of the type of digest_size. You can remove the check
if you want to, though isn't the tautological comparison warning disabled by the
kernel build system anyway? Anyway, it does not make sense to use U16_MAX here.
