The attached patch should fix this. I've explained the issue in a
comment. An alternative approach would be to check for stale entries,
which could be simpler to do and would avoid the need to re-prefetch,
but it'd add a check to a semi-hot path, whereas this patch only adds
code to a cold path (successful guess).
