Ingo Molnar cd1b68f08f x86, mm: fault.c, give another attempt at prefetch handing before SIGBUS
Impact: extend prefetch handling on 64-bit

Currently there's an extra is_prefetch() check done in do_sigbus(),
which we only do on 32 bits.

This is a last-ditch check before we terminate a task, so it's worth
giving prefetch instructions another chance - should none of our
existing quirks have caught a prefetch instruction related spurious
fault.

The only risk is if a prefetch causes a real sigbus, in that case
we'll not OOM but try another fault. But this code has been on
32-bit for a long time, so it should be fine in practice.

So do this on 64-bit too - and thus remove one more #ifdef.
