Subject: [PATCH] Remove a couple final references to obsolete verify_area().


  Remove a couple final references to the obsolete verify_area() call,
which was long ago replaced by access_ok().

Signed-off-by: Robert P. J. Day <rpjday@...dspring.com>

  it *appears* that these last two references can be removed, unless
there's something really strange i'm not seeing here.
