ocfs2: fix snprintf() checking
The snprintf() function returns the number of bytes which would have been printed if the buffer was large enough. In other words it can return ">= remain" but this code assumes it returns "== remain". The run time impact of this bug is not very severe. The next iteration through the loop would trigger a WARN() when we pass a negative limit to snprintf(). We would then return success instead of -E2BIG. The kernel implementation of snprintf() will never return negatives so there is no need to check and I have deleted that dead code.
