util/bufferiszero: Remove useless prefetches

Use of prefetching in bufferiszero.c is quite questionable:

- prefetches are issued just a few CPU cycles before the corresponding
  line would be hit by demand loads;

- they are done for simple access patterns, i.e. where hardware
  prefetchers can perform better;

- they compete for load ports in loops that should be limited by load
  port throughput rather than ALU throughput.
