MdeModulePkg VariableSmm: Do not need check CommBufferSize buffer
Current code in SmmVariableHandler() checks CommBufferSize buffer to make sure it points to outside SMRAM in "case SMM_VARIABLE_FUNCTION_GET_STATISTICS". But after eaae7b33b1cf6b9f21db1636f219c2b6a8d88afd, CommBufferSize buffer points to SMRAM that was used by SMM core to cache CommSize from SmmCommunication protocol, then the check will fail definitely and GET_STATISTICS feature breaks. In fact, do not need check CommBufferSize buffer at all even before eaae7b33b1cf6b9f21db1636f219c2b6a8d88afd. Before eaae7b33b1cf6b9f21db1636f219c2b6a8d88afd, CommBufferSize buffer pointed to gSmmCorePrivate->BufferSize that is outside SMRAM, the check will success definitely; after eaae7b33b1cf6b9f21db1636f219c2b6a8d88afd, CommBufferSize buffer points to local variable BufferSize (in SMRAM) in SmmEntryPoint(), the check is not needed definitely. The patch is to remove the check.
