[Qemu-devel] [PULL 1/4] linux-user: Remove dead error-checking code

[Laurent Vivier]

From: Peter Maydell <address@hidden>

Remove some dead code spotted by Coverity (CID 1009855,
1390854, 1390847). The underlying cause in all these cases
is the same: QEMU's put_user operations can't result in
errors, but the kernel's equivalent does. So when code
was copied from the kernel signal-frame-setup/teardown
code, checks on error flags that were needed in the kernel
became dead code for us.
