uml: activate_mm: remove the dead PF_BORROWED_MM checktip-core-topology-2008-06-16_09.13_Montip-core-misc-2008-06-16_09.11_Mon

use_mm() was changed to use switch_mm() instead of activate_mm(), since
then nobody calls (and nobody should call) activate_mm() with
PF_BORROWED_MM bit set.

As Jeff Dike pointed out, we can also remove the "old != new" check, it is
always true.
