[pve-devel] [PATCH manager] api: ceph: mon create: remove superfluous verification call

[Fiona Ebner]

The pve_verify_cidr{,v4,v6} functions were originally intended for
the /etc/network/interfaces API endpoints and thus are a bit
restrictive. For example, as reported in the community forum[0],
pve_verify_cidr() does not consider '0::/0' and '0::/1' to be valid.

The error message in this scenario being
> value does not look like a valid CIDR network
is also confusing, as the first thought of users will be that it comes
from the passed-in monitor address.

The public networks are not written here and read from the Ceph config
and via a RADOS mon command, so no need to try and verify them. If
something really would go wrong during parsing, the
get_local_ip_from_cidr() call would complain afterwards.
