Subject: arm: don't call addr_limit_user_check for nommu

On arm nommu kernel use the same constant for USER_DS and KERNEL_DS, and
seqment_eq always returns false.  With the current check in
addr_limit_user_check that works by accident, but when replacing
seqment_eq with uaccess_kerne it will fail.  Just remove the not needed
check entirely.
