bpf, arm64: remove prefetch insn in xadd mapping
Prefetch-with-intent-to-write is currently part of the XADD mapping in the AArch64 JIT and follows the kernel's implementation of atomic_add. This may interfere with other threads executing the LDXR/STXR loop, leading to potential starvation and fairness issues. Drop the optional prefetch instruction.
