Heh.

You should probably have researched _when_ it became unused.

That seems to have happened in commit 5723aa993d83 ("x86: use the new
generic strnlen_user() function") which removed the single user from
the x86-32 version of strnlen_user(), which used to have

        unsigned long mask = -__addr_ok(s);

in it.

Way back in 2012.

Ack.
