Subject: sparc64: Delete now unused user copy fixup functions.
From: "David S. Miller" <davem@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 0fd0ff01d4c3c01e7fe69b762ee1a13236639acc ]
Now that all of the user copy routines are converted to return
accurate residual lengths when an exception occurs, we no longer need
the broken fixup routines.
