[PATCH net 3/5] ibmvnic: Fix endian error when requesting device capabilites

When a IBM VNIC client driver requests a faulty device setting, the
server returns an acceptable value for the client to request.
This 64 bit value was incorrectly being swapped as a 32 bit value,
resulting in loss of data. This patch corrects that by using
the 64 bit swap function.
