[PATCH 1/5] ARCv2: lib: memcpy: fix doing prefetchw outside of buffer

[Eugeniy Paltsev <eugeniy.paltsev@synopsys.com>]

ARCv2 optimized memcpy uses PREFETCHW instruction for prefetching the
next cache line but doesn't ensure that the line is not past the end of
the buffer. PRETECHW changes the line ownership and marks it dirty,
which can cause data corruption if this area is used for DMA IO.

Fix the issue by avoiding the PREFETCHW. This leads to performance
degradation but it is OK as we'll introduce new memcpy implementation
optimized for unaligned memory access using.

We also cut off all PREFETCH instructions at they are quite useless
according to benchmark.
