It does with this change. Or are you asking whether it returning -EINVAL
in that case is ok?
I don't see why not - this way callers can differentiate where it failed
- at fetching bytes with -ENODATA or it wasn't decoded completely -
-EINVAL.

I'd actually prefer this:
diff --git a/tools/arch/x86/include/asm/insn.h b/tools/arch/x86/include/asm/insn.h
index f8772b371452..545320c67855 100644
--- a/tools/arch/x86/include/asm/insn.h
+++ b/tools/arch/x86/include/asm/insn.h
@@ -98,8 +98,6 @@ extern int insn_get_length(struct insn *insn);
enum insn_mode {
INSN_MODE_32,
INSN_MODE_64,
- /* Mode is determined by the current kernel build. */
- INSN_MODE_KERN,
INSN_NUM_MODES,
};
so that when a tool does use INSN_MODE_KERN, it would fail building:
