The size of DMA descriptors is 32 bytes at most.
net_prefetch() for received frames, and keep prefetch() for descriptors.

This patch brings ~4.8% driver performance improvement in a TCP RX
throughput test with iPerf tool on a single isolated Cortex-A65 CPU
core, 2.92 Gbits/sec increased to 3.06 Gbits/sec.
