[merged] exec-use-force_uaccess_begin-during-exec-and-exit.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     Subject: exec: use force_uaccess_begin during exec and exit
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     exec-use-force_uaccess_begin-during-exec-and-exit.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
Subject: exec: use force_uaccess_begin during exec and exit

Both exec and exit want to ensure that the uaccess routines actually do
access user pointers.  Use the newly added force_uaccess_begin helper
instead of an open coded set_fs for that to prepare for kernel builds
where set_fs() does not exist.
