ntfs: Remove impossible condition

The variable name_len is checked to see if it's larger than the macro
NTFS_MAX_NAME_LEN however this condition is impossible because name_len
is of type u8 and NTFS_MAX_NAME_LEN is hardcoded to be 255.

Detected by Smatch:
fs/ntfs/namei.c:1175 __ntfs_link() warn:
impossible condition '(name_len > 255) => (0-255 > 255)'
