Subject: [PATCH 6/9] TEST_ACCESS_OK _never_ had been checked anywhere

From: Al Viro <viro@...iv.linux.org.uk>

Once upon a time the predecessor of that thing (TEST_VERIFY_AREA)
used to be.  However, that had been gone for years now (and
the patch that introduced TEST_ACCESS_OK has not touched any
ifdefs - they got gradually removed later).  Just bury it...
