[PATCH] powerpc32: rearrange instructions order in ip_fast_csum()

On PPC_8xx, lwz has a 2 cycles latency, and branching also takes 2 cycles.
As the size of the header is minimum 5 words, we can unroll the loop for the
first words to reduce number of branching, and we can re-order the instructions
to limit loading latency.
