daemon: remove unnecesary restriction for listener fd
Since df076bdbcc ([PATCH] GIT: Listen on IPv6 as well, if available., 2005-07-23), any file descriptor assigned to a listening socket was validated to be within the range to be used in an FDSET later. 6573faff34 (NO_IPV6 support for git daemon, 2005-09-28), moves to use poll() instead of select(), that doesn't have that restriction, so remove the original check.
