dpdk: prefetch becomes prefetchw
Changed dpdk-input prefetch of vlib_buffer_t to prefetchw.
vlib_buffer_t was being prefetched without 'ownership', which may
cause a stall when the buffer is subsequently written to. This saves
4 clocks a packet when the buffer is shared a cross cores, and has no
impact when not sharing.
Type: improvement
