lib/checksum.c: fix endianess bug
The new generic checksum code has a small dependency on endianess and worked only on big-endian systems. I could not find a nice efficient way to express this, so I added an #ifdef. Using 'result += le16_to_cpu(*buff);' would have worked as well, but would be slightly less efficient on big-endian systems and IMHO would not be clearer. Also fix a bug that prevents this from working on 64-bit machines. If you have a 64-bit CPU and want to use the generic checksum code, you should probably do some more optimizations anyway, but at least the code should not break.
