[PATCH] sched: core: remove access_ok() before copy_to_user()

From: Tuo Cao
Date: Mon Aug 15 2022 - 10:21:54 EST


If usize > ksize, usize may be not valid and if(!access_ok()) will return
-EFAULT. But ksize may be valid, copy_to_user() should be executed.And
also, copy_to_user() will calls access_ok() to test whether a block of
memory is a valid user space address.
