stackleak: remove redundant check
In __stackleak_erase() we check that the `erase_low` value derived from
`current->lowest_stack` is above the lowest legitimate stack pointer
value, but this is already enforced by stackleak_track_stack() when
recording the lowest stack value.
Remove the redundant check.
There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.
