drivers/staging/lustre: Nuke an unsigned >= 0 assert

Writing asserts for almost-never-can-happen things can be valuable.
Writing an assert that tests that an "unsigned int" hasn't gone negative
isn't.

And it generates an *ugly* message:

Umm, thank you, GCC.  We'll delete the problem line so we never see that spew again.
