Subject: x86/process: Delete useless check for dead process with LDT
X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=50e04acf2990d0d93983720b0a85b11ef805df60;p=linux.git

x86/process: Delete useless check for dead process with LDT

At release_thread(), ->mm is NULL; and it is fine for the former mm to
still have an LDT. Delete this check in process_64.c, similar to
commit 2684927c6b93 ("[PATCH] x86: Deprecate useless bug"), which did the
same in process_32.c.
