[PATCH] x86: fix disassembler buffer overflow

["Jan Beulich" <JBeulich at novell dot com>]

This fixes the buffer overflow triggered by too long prefix streams. It
also
changes the instruction length limit to the architectural value of 15.

Built and tested on i686-pc-linux-gnu and x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.

	* i386-dis.c (MAXLEN): Reduce to architectural limit.
	(fetch_data): Check for sufficient buffer size.
