Subject: [PATCH v3 2/3] rseq: remove redundant access_ok()

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

After commit 8f2817701492 ("rseq: Use get_user/put_user rather
than __get_user/__put_user") we no longer need
an access_ok() call from __rseq_handle_notify_resume()

Mathieu pointed out the same cleanup can be done
in rseq_syscall().
