    entry: Remove empty addr_limit_user_check() · 1dfe3a5a
    Mark Rutland authored
    Back when set_fs() was a generic API for altering the address limit,
    addr_limit_user_check() was a safety measure to prevent userspace being
    able to issue syscalls with an unbound limit.
    
    With the the removal of set_fs() as a generic API, the last user of
    addr_limit_user_check() was removed in commit:
    
      b5a5a01d ("arm64: uaccess: remove addr_limit_user_check()")
    
    ... as since that commit, no architecture defines TIF_FSCHECK, and hence
    addr_limit_user_check() always expands to nothing.
    
    Remove addr_limit_user_check(), updating the comment in
    exit_to_user_mode_prepare() to no longer refer to it. At the same time,
    the comment is reworded to be a little more generic so as to cover
    kmap_assert_nomap() in addition to lockdep_sys_exit().
    
    No functional change.
