mb/siemens/mc_ehl1: Disable L1 prefetcher
The highly real time driven application executed on mc_ehl1 has shown
that the L1 prefetcher on Elkhart Lake is too aggressive which in the
end leads to an increased number of cache misses. Disabling the L1
prefetcher boosts up the performance (in some cases by more than 10 %)
in this specific use case.
