net: remove useless prefetch() call

There is no gain using prefetch() in dev_hard_start_xmit(), since
we already had to read ops->ndo_select_queue pointer in dev_pick_tx(),
and both pointers are probably located in the same cache line.

This prefetch call slows down fast path because of a stall in address
computation.
