I guess it was removed after 2.6.6 . And now this function is called
as user_path. Look at the following commit which can give you some
idea.

commit 2d8f30380ab8c706f4e0a8f1aaa22b5886e9ac8a

    [PATCH] sanitize __user_walk_fd() et.al.
...........
...........
+asmlinkage long compat_sys_statfs(const char __user *pathname, struct
compat_statfs __user *buf)
 {
-       struct nameidata nd;
+       struct path path;
        int error;

-       error = user_path_walk(path, &nd);
+       error = user_path(pathname, &path);
        if (!error) {
                struct kstatfs tmp;
-               error = vfs_statfs(nd.path.dentry, &tmp);
+               error = vfs_statfs(path.dentry, &tmp);
                if (!error)
                        error = put_compat_statfs(buf, &tmp);
-               path_put(&nd.path);
+               path_put(&path);
        }
