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.

Sorry... do you want it in 3.1?

Thanks,

I think it would be nice to, since it does silence some Coverity
issues.

thanks
