[lvc-project] [PATCH] ksmbd: remove redundant DACL check in smb_check_perm_dacl

A zero value of pdacl->num_aces is already handled at the start of
smb_check_perm_dacl() so the second check is useless.

Drop the unreachable code block, no functional impact intended.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
