[PATCH 09/14] m68k: drop custom __access_ok()

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd at arndb.de>

While most m68k platforms use separate address spaces for user
and kernel space, at least coldfire does not, and the other
ones have a TASK_SIZE that is less than the entire 4GB address
range.

Using the generic implementation of __access_ok() stops coldfire
user space from trivially accessing kernel memory, and is probably
the right thing elsewhere for consistency as well.
