[PATCH 5/5] fs: remove ksys_dup()

From: Dominik Brodowski
Date: Thu Dec 12 2019 - 13:14:41 EST


ksys_dup() is used only at one place in the kernel, namely to duplicate
fd 0 of /dev/console to stdout and stderr. The same functionality can be
achieved by using functions already available within the kernel namespace.
