buffer: remove MAX_SAFE_INTEGER check on length
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
MAX_SAFE_INTEGER is millions of times larger than the largest buffer
allowed in Node.js. There is no need to squash the length down to
MAX_SAFE_INTEGER. Removing that check results in a small but
statistically significant increase for Buffer.from() operating on
ArrayBuffers in some situations.
