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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
