[PATCH 07/14] fscrypt: drop max_namelen check from fname_decrypt()

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers at google.com>

fname_decrypt() returns an error if the input filename is longer than
the inode's ->max_namelen() as given by the filesystem.  But, this
doesn't actually make sense because the filesystem provided the input
filename in the first place, where it was subject to the filesystem's
limits.  And fscrypt_decrypt() has no internal limit itself.

Thus, remove this unnecessary check.
