The kernel test robot reported a Smatch warning:
kernel/liveupdate/luo_core.c:402 luo_ioctl() warn: unsigned 'nr' is
never less than zero.

This occurs because 'nr' is unsigned and LIVEUPDATE_CMD_BASE is currently
defined as 0, making the check (nr < LIVEUPDATE_CMD_BASE) always false.

Remove the explicit lower bound check.  The logic remains correct because
'nr' is unsigned; if nr is less than LIVEUPDATE_CMD_BASE, the expression
(nr - LIVEUPDATE_CMD_BASE) will wrap around to a large positive value.
This will inevitably be larger than ARRAY_SIZE(luo_ioctl_ops) and be
caught by the upper bound check.
