[PATCH] tail: remove excessive checks on buffer sizes before printing

[Nikolay Nechaev]

* src/tail.c: remove excessive size checks before calls to
`xwrite_stdout`

`xwrite_stdout` itself checks if what is to be printed out
has positive size, and only proceeds then. There is no need
to check if buffers are of positive size before printing
them out with `xwrite_stdout`
