[PATCH] MIPS: vpe: Remove vpe_getcwd

[Thomas Bogendoerfer]

I couldn't find any user of the dubious vpe_getcwd so far. So remove it and
get rid of another set_fs(KERNEL_DS).

Crap can work. Given enough thrust pigs will fly, but it's not necessarily a
good idea.                                                [ RFC1925, 2.3 ]

 IIRC it served as the path for the SP-side program to load in the AP/SP 
model.  Or something like that.  There may have been an application note 
available describing how to use this stuff.  Chances are some of the code 
may have already been removed in previous cuts.
