lib/xor: make xor prototypes more friendly to compiler vectorization

Modern compilers are perfectly capable of extracting parallelism from
the XOR routines, provided that the prototypes reflect the nature of the
input accurately, in particular, the fact that the input vectors are
expected not to overlap. This is not documented explicitly, but is
implied by the interchangeability of the various C routines, some of
which use temporary variables while others don't: this means that these
routines only behave identically for non-overlapping inputs.

So let's decorate these input vectors with the __restrict modifier,
which informs the compiler that there is no overlap. While at it, make
the input-only vectors pointer-to-const as well.

asm-generic: xor: mark static functions as __maybe_unused

The asm-generic/xor.h header file is nasty and defines static functions
that are not inline. The header file is include by the ARM version of
asm/xor.h, which uses some but not all of the symbols defined there.

Marking the extraneous functions as __maybe_unused lets gcc drop them
without complaining.

Without this patch, building iop13xx_defconfig results in:

include/asm-generic/xor.h:696:34: warning: 'xor_block_8regs_p' defined but not used [-Wunused-variable]

sanitize <linux/prefetch.h> usage

Commit e66eed651fd1 ("list: remove prefetching from regular list
iterators") removed the include of prefetch.h from list.h, which
uncovered several cases that had apparently relied on that rather
obscure header file dependency.

So this fixes things up a bit, using

grep -L linux/prefetch.h $(git grep -l '[^a-z_]prefetchw*(' -- '*.[ch]')
grep -L 'prefetchw*(' $(git grep -l 'linux/prefetch.h' -- '*.[ch]')

to guide us in finding files that either need <linux/prefetch.h>
inclusion, or have it despite not needing it.

There are more of them around (mostly network drivers), but this gets
many core ones.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,

3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
