[PATCH 3/3] perf: Drop prefetch.h

[Borislav Petkov]

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@xxxxxxx>

This was needed at the time before e66eed651fd1 ("list: remove
prefetching from regular list iterators") where the list iterators did
prefetch elements. This turned out to be counter-productive and hurt
performance and they were removed. Which makes the prefetch.h header
unused so drop it.
