Subject: [PATCH 2/2] staging: dgrp: dgrp_tty.c: Audit the return values of get/put_user()

fix for missing audits for return values of get_user() and put_user().
Inspecting the return values of get/put_user() would make the access_ok()
redundant, hence removing calls to access_ok() in such scenarios.
