netlink: 2-clause nla_ok()

nla_ok() consists of 3 clauses:

	1) int rem >= (int)sizeof(struct nlattr)

	2) u16 nla_len >= sizeof(struct nlattr)

	3) u16 nla_len <= int rem

The statement is that clause (1) is redundant.

What it does is ensuring that "rem" is a positive number,
so that in clause (3) positive number will be compared to positive number
with no problems.

However, "u16" fully fits into "int" and integers do not change value
when upcasting even to signed type. Negative integers will be rejected
by clause (3) just fine. Small positive integers will be rejected
by transitivity of comparison operator.

NOTE: all of the above DOES NOT apply to nlmsg_ok() where ->nlmsg_len is
u32(!), so 3 clauses AND A CAST TO INT are necessary.
