From: Vaibhav Jain <vaibhav at linux.ibm.com>
On Power-8 the AFU attr prefault_mode tried to improve storage fault
performance by prefaulting process segments. However Power-9 radix
mode doesn't have Storage-Segments and prefaulting Pages is too fine
grained.
So this patch updates prefault_mode_store() to not allow any other
value apart from CXL_PREFAULT_NONE when radix mode is enabled.

Description: read/write
Set the mode for prefaulting in segments into the segment table
- when performing the START_WORK ioctl. Possible values:

+ Possible values:
none: No prefaulting (default)
