     2600990e Ralf Baechle  2006-04-05  1090 	 	ret = getcwd(v->cwd, VPE_PATH_MAX);

When examining the code to see what v->uid and v->gid were used for I
discovered that the only users in the kernel are vpe_getuid and
vpe_getgid, and that vpe_getuid and vpe_getgid are never called.

So instead of proposing a conversion to use kuid_t and kgid_t instead
of unsigned int/int as I normally would let's just kill this dead code
so no one has to worry about it further.
