[PATCH linux-next] befs: befs_fill_super(): remove unreachable code

[Tim Gardner]

befs_sb->num_blocks is of base type u64 which is the same as sector_t.
Therefore, num_blocks can never be larger then the maximum
value of sector_t.

smatch analysis:

fs/befs/linuxvfs.c:851 befs_fill_super() warn: impossible
 condition '(befs_sb->num_blocks > ~(0)) => (0-u64max > u64max)'
