Subject: ocfs2: fix snprintf() checking
The snprintf() function returns the number of bytes which would have been
printed if the buffer was large enough. In other words it can return ">=
remain" but this code assumes it returns "== remain".
The run time impact of this bug is not very severe. The next iteration
through the loop would trigger a WARN() when we pass a negative limit to
snprintf(). We would then return success instead of -E2BIG.
The kernel implementation of snprintf() will never return negatives so
there is no need to check and I have deleted that dead code.
