When building kernel with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMISE_FOR_SIZE, several
copies of csum_sub() are generated, with the following code:

	00000170 <csum_sub>:
	     170:	7c 84 20 f8 	not     r4,r4
	     174:	7c 63 20 14 	addc    r3,r3,r4
	     178:	7c 63 01 94 	addze   r3,r3
	     17c:	4e 80 00 20 	blr

Let's define a PPC32 version with subc/addme, and for it's inlining.

It will return 0 instead of 0xffffffff when subtracting 0x80000000 to itself,
this is not an issue as 0 and ~0 are equivalent, refer to RFC 1624.
