[PATCH] ppc, exec: remove redundant set_fs(USER_DS)

DORMANTno replies

From: Mathias Krause <hidden>
Date: 2011-06-10 13:10:26
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Linus Torvalds

The address limit is already set in flush_old_exec() so this
set_fs(USER_DS) is redundant.
