Or should this test be removed?

No, you're quite right, its a harmless, but unneeded check.  Herbert, could you
pull this into cryptodev please?  Thank you.

Thanks for the patch Roel.

In that case:
-------------------------->8------------------8<-------------------------
size_t nbytes cannot be less than 0 and the test was redundant.
