Julian Wiedmann fda4fde297 net: ip_tunnel: clean up endianness conversions
sparse complains about some harmless endianness issues:

> net/ipv4/ip_tunnel_core.c:225:43: warning: cast to restricted __be16
> net/ipv4/ip_tunnel_core.c:225:43: warning: incorrect type in initializer (different base types)
> net/ipv4/ip_tunnel_core.c:225:43:    expected restricted __be16 [usertype] mtu
> net/ipv4/ip_tunnel_core.c:225:43:    got unsigned short [usertype]

iptunnel_pmtud_build_icmp() uses the wrong flavour of byte-order conversion
when storing the MTU into the ICMPv4 packet. Use htons(), just like
iptunnel_pmtud_build_icmpv6() does.

eth_header() wants the Ethertype in host-order, use the correct flavour of
byte-order conversion.

The TUNNEL_* types are big-endian, so adjust the type of the local
variable in ip_tun_parse_opts().

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
