[PATCH v2 1/2 RESEND] staging: dgnc: remove dead code in dgnc_tty_write()

[Giedrius StatkeviÄius]

Remove the dead code protected by in_user in dgnc_tty_write() because it is set
to 0 and never changed to 1 thus the code in ifs never gets executed.

Signed-off-by: Giedrius StatkeviÄius <giedrius.statkevicius@xxxxxxxxx>
---
v2: Just remove the dead code protected by in_user and join the first and third
patches.
