net: add netdev_txq_bql_{enqueue, complete}_prefetchw() helpers
Add two helpers so that drivers do not have to care of BQL being available or not. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Reported-by: Jim Davis <jim.epost@gmail.com> Fixes: 29d40c903247 ("net/mlx4_en: Use prefetch in tx path") Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
