Subject: futex: Remove redundant pagefault_disable in futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic()
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=522d7dec;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

futex: Remove redundant pagefault_disable in futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic()

kernel/futex.c disables page faults before calling
futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic(), so there is no need to do it again
within that function.
