dpdk: apply dual loop unrolling in DPDK TX

Too many prefetches within loop unrollings induce bottleneck and
performance degradation on some CPUs which have less cache line fill
buffers, e.g, Arm Cortex-A72.
Apply dual loop unrolling and tune prefetches manually to remove
hot-spot with prefetch instructions, to get throughput improvement.
It brings about 1% throughput improvement and saves 8% clocks with
the target node on Cortex-A72.
