[Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH S27 14/15] ice: small efficiency fixes

From: Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg at intel.com>

Add a small bit of efficiency to the code by adding a
prefetch of the port_info structure in order to help
avoid a cache miss a little later on in execution.

Also add an unlikely statement to a branch which
generally will never happen in normal operation.
