dpif-netdev: Prefetch next packet before miniflow_extract().

It appears that miniflow_extract() in emc_processing() spends a lot of
cycles waiting for the packet's data to be read.

Prefetching the next packet's data while parsing removes this delay.
For a single flow pipeline the throughput improves by ~10%.  With a
more realistic pipeline the change has a much smaller effect (~0.5%
improvement)
