Currently we see a kernel-oops reported on Power-9 while attaching a
context to an AFU, with radix-mode and sysfs attr 'prefault_mode' set
to anything other than 'none'. The backtrace of the oops is of this
form:
Unable to handle kernel paging request for data at address 0x00000080

The issue is caused as on Power-8 the AFU attr 'prefault_mode' was
used to improve initial storage fault performance by prefaulting
process segments. However on Power-9 with radix mode we don't have
Storage-Segments that we can prefault. Also prefaulting process Pages
will be too costly and fine-grained.
Hence, since the prefaulting mechanism doesn't makes sense of
radix-mode, this patch updates prefault_mode_store() to not allow any
other value apart from CXL_PREFAULT_NONE when radix mode is enabled.
