The LSE atomics rely on us not dirtying data at L1 if we can avoid it,
otherwise many of the potential scalability benefits are lost.
This patch replaces spin_lock_prefetch with a nop when the LSE atomics
are in use, so that users don't shoot themselves in the foot by causing
needless coherence traffic at L1.
