[PATCH v2] ext4: Simplify code in ext4_decode_error()

[Christophe JAILLET]

snprintf() returns the number of characters which would be generated,
excluding the trailing NULL. Here the value is always >= 7, so the test
is always true.

Instead of fixing the test, just remove it. What matters is that the
string is NULL terminated.

v2:
   - remove the bogus check, instead of fixing it
   - Remove the Fixes tag (was: ac27a0ec112a ("[PATCH] ext4: initial copy of files from ext3"))

v1:
   https://lore.kernel.org/all/2c0edffd8557807c6cd6d55111482c5cad7c8f2f.1694275603.git.christophe.jaillet@xxxxxxxxxx/

The comment about nbuf being NULL or not, and the related test could be
removed, but keeping it is harmless and more future proof.
