[PATCH net] powerpc: use big endian to hash len and proto in csum_ipv6_magic

The function csum_ipv6_magic doesn't convert len and proto to big
endian before doing ipv6 csum hash, which is not consistent with
RFC and other arches.

Jianlin found it when ICMPv6 packets from other hosts were dropped
in the powerpc64 system.

This patch is to fix it by using instruction 'lwbrx' to do this
conversion in powerpc32/64 csum_ipv6_magic.
