dpdk: apply dual loop unrolling in DPDK TX
Too many prefetches within loop unrollings induce bottleneck and performance degradation on some CPUs which have less cache line fill buffers, e.g, Arm Cortex-A72. Apply dual loop unrolling and tune prefetches manually to remove hot-spot with prefetch instructions, to get throughput improvement. It brings about 1% throughput improvement and saves 8% clocks with the target node on Cortex-A72.
