[PATCH] arch/mn10300/kernel/process.c: Remove the BKL from sys_execve

From: John Kacur
Date: Mon Oct 12 2009 - 17:41:55 EST


This looks like a cut-and-paste from functionality that no-longer needs the bkl
Just remove it. Also, rewrite slightly so that it looks closer to sys_execve
on other architectures.
