[PATCH] drm/vboxvideo: Avoid double check buffer_overflow in vbva_write()

[Sidong Yang]

In vbva_write(), We do not need to double check available chunk size if
chunk is smaller than available buffer. Put the second if clause in the
first if clause and avoid check twice.

The code pattern of checking some condition, then fixing it up
and checking again without putting the second check inside the
first check's if block is quite normal and IMHO is more readable
then the nested version with all the extra indentation.

I"m sure the compiler is more then smart enough to just optimize
away the second check if the first one succeeds.

So I see no benefits to this patch, so nack from me.

Regards,

Hans
