efivars: pstore: Do not check size when erasing variable
commit 80a19debc2f2d398cfa57fae97bc99826748a602 upstream.
In 3.2, unlike mainline, efi_pstore_erase() calls efi_pstore_write()
with a size of 0, as the underlying EFI interface treats a size of 0
as meaning deletion.
This was not taken into account in my backport of commit d80a361d779a
'efi_pstore: Check remaining space with QueryVariableInfo() before
writing data'. The size check should be omitted when erasing.
