    Remove some dead code
    
    The intention of the removed code was to check if the previous operation
    carried. However this does not work. The "mask" value always ends up being
    a constant and is all ones - thus it has no effect. This check is no longer
    required because of the previous commit.

commit 335d0a4646981c9d96b62811bcfd69a96a1a67d9

    Fix undefined behaviour in e_aes_cbc_hmac_sha256.c and e_aes_cbc_hmac_sha1.c
    
    In TLS mode of operation the padding value "pad" is obtained along with the
    maximum possible padding value "maxpad". If pad > maxpad then the data is
    invalid. However we must continue anyway because this is constant time code.
    
    We calculate the payload length like this:
    
        inp_len = len - (SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH + pad + 1);
    
    However if pad is invalid then inp_len ends up -ve (actually large +ve
    because it is a size_t).
    
    Later we do this:
    
        /* verify HMAC */
        out += inp_len;
        len -= inp_len;
    
    This ends up with "out" pointing before the buffer which is undefined
    behaviour. Next we calculate "p" like this:
    
        unsigned char *p =
            out + len - 1 - maxpad - SHA256_DIGEST_LENGTH;
    
    Because of the "out + len" term the -ve inp_len value is cancelled out
    so "p" points to valid memory (although technically the pointer arithmetic
    is undefined behaviour again).
    
    We only ever then dereference "p" and never "out" directly so there is
    never an invalid read based on the bad pointer - so there is no security
    issue.
    
    This commit fixes the undefined behaviour by ensuring we use maxpad in
    place of pad, if the supplied pad is invalid.
    
    With thanks to Brian Carpenter for reporting this issue.
