dm ioctl: drop always-false condition

The expression 'indata[3] > ULONG_MAX' always evaluates to false since
indata[] is declared as an array of *unsigned long* elements and #define
ULONG_MAX represents the max value of that exact type...

Note that gcc seems to be able to detect the dead code here and eliminate
this check anyway...
