Software prefetch significantly improves bilinear scaling performance
and pushes it up to memory bandwidth limit.

Benchmark on ARM Cortex-A8:
 Microbenchmark (scaling 2000x2000 image with scale factor close to 1x):
  before: op=1, src=20028888, dst=20028888, speed=44.27 MPix/s
  after:  op=1, src=20028888, dst=20028888, speed=68.21 MPix/s

  performance of nearest scaling for comparison:
          op=1, src=20028888, dst=20028888, speed=74.70 MPix/s
