This reverts commit e6595224464b692ddae193d783402130d1625147. These kinds of patches are only making the code worse. Compilers don't care about the unnecessary check, but removing it makes the code less obvious to a human. The declaration of 'len' is more than 80 lines earlier, so a human won't easily see that 'len' is of an unsigned type, so to a human the range check that checks against zero is much more explicit and obvious. Any tool that complains about a range check like this just because the variable is unsigned is actively detrimental, and should be ignored.
