Subject: x86: prefetch fix #2
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3085354de635179d70c240e6d942bcbd1d93056c;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

x86: prefetch fix #2

Linus noticed a second bug and an uncleanliness:

 - we'd return on any instruction fetch fault

 - we'd use both the value of 16 and the PF_INSTR symbol which are
   the same and make no sense

the cleanup nicely unifies this piece of logic.
