[PATCH] ftrace: remove redundant test on nsigned

[Roel Kluin]

Unsigned `cnt' cannot be less than 0.

Or should it be `if (!cnt || cnt > MAX)' and what should MAX be then?

The patch is fine, but there's a typo in the title s/nsigned/unsigned

No, note there is another check:

	if (cnt > EVENT_BUF_SIZE)
		cnt = EVENT_BUF_SIZE;

Thanks for the patch. However, we have a patch from Christoph Hellwig 
pending that will rework the sputrace code:

 http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/28641/

It's currently queued in benh's tree, should be up soon.

Cheers,


Jeremy
