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.
