Commit 849f3127bb46 ("switch /dev/kmsg to ->write_iter()") refactored
devkmsg_write() and left over a dead assignment on the variable 'len'.
Hence, make clang-analyzer warns:
kernel/printk/printk.c:744:4: warning: Value stored to 'len' is never read
[clang-analyzer-deadcode.DeadStores]
len -= endp - line;
^
Simply remove this obsolete dead assignment here.

applies cleanly on current master and next-20201130
Petr, please pick this minor non-urgent clean-up patch.

Yup, it was used to write the trailing '\0'. But it is done earlier
now. So, it is not longer needed.

Best Regards,
Petr
PS: I'll give it few days just in case anyone else would want to
review it. I'll push it then unless anyone complains.
