The recent rework of probe_kernel_read() and its conversion to get_kernel_nofault() inadvertently broke is_prefetch(). We were using probe_kernel_read() as a sloppy "read user or kernel memory" helper, but it doens't do that any more. The new get_kernel_nofault() reads *kernel* memory only, which completely broke is_prefetch() for user access.
Adjust the code to the the correct accessor based on access mode. The manual address bounds check is no longer necessary, since the accessor helpers (get_user() / get_kernel_nofault()) do the right thing all by themselves. As a bonus, by using the correct accessor, we don't need the open-coded address bounds check.
While we're at it, disable the workaround on all CPUs except AMD Family 0xF. By my reading of the Revision Guide for AMD Athlon™ 64 and AMD Opteron™ Processors, only family 0xF is affected.

I think it would be better to have one no risk refression fix that just probes both user and kernel addresses and a separate one to restrict the workaround.
- if (likely(boot_cpu_data.x86_vendor != X86_VENDOR_AMD
|| boot_cpu_data.x86 != 0xf))
Normally kernel style would be to have the || on the first line.

Yah, actually, only !NPT K8s have the erratum listed, i.e., CPU models < 0x40, AFAICT.
I.e., your test should be:
struct cpuinfo_x86 *c = &boot_cpu_data;
...
/* Erratum #91 on AMD K8, pre-NPT CPUs */ if (likely(c->x86_vendor != X86_VENDOR_AMD || c->x86 != 0xf || c->x86_model >= 0x40)) return 0;
I can try to dig out such a machine to test this on if you wanna. We might still have one collecting dust somewhere in a corner...

@stable because theoretically without that fix, kernel should explode on those machines when it #PFs on a prefetch insn in user mode?
Hmm, yap, probably...

Yah, no need to convert that to the insn decoder - that can die together with the hardware it is supposed to query...
