Subject: ARM: 9351/1: fault: Add "cut here" line for prefetch aborts

From: Kees Cook <keescook at chromium.org>

commit 8f09b8b4fa58e99cbfd9a650b31d65cdbd8e4276 upstream.

The common pattern in arm is to emit a "8<--- cut here ---" line for
faults, but it was missing for do_PrefetchAbort(). Add it.
