mptcp: fix checksum byte order
The MPTCP code typecasts the checksum value to u16 and then converts it to big endian while storing the value into the MPTCP option. As a result, the wire encoding for little endian host is wrong, and that causes interoperabilty interoperability issues with other implementation or host with different endianness. Address the issue writing in the packet the unmodified __sum16 value. MPTCP checksum is disabled by default, interoperating with systems with bad mptcp-level csum encoding should cause fallback to TCP.
