This is wrong because 'len' is unsigned.  So the -EFBIG return value is not
being checked for, so this patch actually removes the overflow check.

It looks like you've sent over 60 strscpy conversion patches recently
(https://lore.kernel.org/linux-hardening/?q=f%3Aazeemshaikh38+s%3Astrscpy).
That's concerning because this is the only one that I happened to review, and it
introduces a bug.  There are 60 others that could have this same bug.  Can you
please review all your patches for this same bug?
