slightly reduce idiocy in drivers/staging/bcm/Misc.c
a) vfs_llseek() does *not* access userland pointers of any kind b) neither does filp_close(), for that matter c) ... nor filp_open() d) vfs_read() does, but we do have a wrapper for that (kernel_read()), so there's no need to reinvent it. e) passing current->files to filp_close() on something that never had been in descriptor table is pointless. ISAGN: voodoo dolls to be used on voodoo programmers... Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
