Remove the explicit prefetch check when using vfio-ccw devices.
This check is not needed in practice as all Linux channel programs
are intended to use prefetch.

Version 2 improves logging by issuing a warning if a non-prefetch
ORB is encountered. A kernel warning is printed when an ORB without
the p-bit set is initialized.  The warning is limited to once per
five seconds because, if encountered, non-prefetch ORBs tend to
appear in bursts of hundreds per second.

The commit message is expanded to highlight the potential for
future risk if non-prefetch dependent channel programs become
prevalent.  Furthermore, a note of prefetch only support is
added to the limitations section of the vfio-ccw.rst.
