x86/fault: Cast an argument to the proper address space in prefetch()

Browse source 
Commit in Fixes uses accessors based on the access mode, i.e., it
distinguishes its access if instr carries a user address or a kernel
address.

Since that commit, sparse complains about passing an argument without
__user annotation to get_user(), which expects a pointer of the __user
address space:

  arch/x86/mm/fault.c:152:29: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces)
  arch/x86/mm/fault.c:152:29:    expected void const volatile [noderef] __user *ptr
  arch/x86/mm/fault.c:152:29:    got unsigned char *[assigned] instr

Cast instr to __user when accessing user memory.

No functional change. No change in the generated object code.

  [ bp: Simplify commit message. ]
