[PATCH] misc verify_area cleanups

Browse Source 
There were still a few comments left refering to verify_area, and two
functions, verify_area_skas & verify_area_tt that just wrap corresponding
access_ok_skas & access_ok_tt functions, just like verify_area does for
access_ok - deprecate those.

There was also a few places that still used verify_area in commented-out
code, fix those up to use access_ok.

After applying this one there should not be anything left but finally
removing verify_area completely, which will happen after a kernel release
or two.
