avutil/lls: speed up performance of solve_lls

This is a trivial rewrite of the loops that results in better
prefetching and associated cache efficiency. Essentially, the problem is
that modern prefetching logic is based on finite state Markov memory, a reasonable
assumption that is used elsewhere in CPU's in for instance branch
predictors.

Surrounding loops all iterate forward through the array, making the
predictor think of prefetching in the forward direction, but the
intermediate loop is unnecessarily in the backward direction.

Speedup is nontrivial. Benchmarks obtained by 10^6 iterations within
solve_lls, with START/STOP_TIMER. File is tests/data/fate/flac-16-lpc-cholesky.err.
Hardware: x86-64, Haswell, GNU/Linux.
