[PATCH 2/2] e1000: remove risky prefetch on next_skb->data

["Kok, Auke" <auke-jan.h.kok@intel.com>]

It was brought to our attention that the prefetches break e1000 traffic
on xscale/arm architectures.  Remove them for now.  We'll let them
stay in mm for a while, or find a better solution to enable.
