[PATCH v2] block: remove test of incorrect io priority level
From: Aaron Lu
Date: Thu May 08 2025 - 04:30:53 EST
Ever since commit eca2040972b4("scsi: block: ioprio: Clean up interface
definition"), the macro IOPRIO_PRIO_LEVEL() will mask the level value to
something between 0 and 7 so necessarily, level will always be lower than
IOPRIO_NR_LEVELS(8).
Remove this obsolete check.
