The recent rework of probe_kernel_address() and its conversion to
get_kernel_nofault() inadvertently broke is_prefetch(). Before this
change, probe_kernel_address() was used as a sloppy "read user or
kernel memory" helper, but it doesn'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 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, the open-coded
address bounds check is not needed anymore.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
