virtio-net: byteswap virtio-net header



TCP connectivity fails when the guest has a different endianness.
The packets are silently dropped on the host by the tap backend
when they are read from user space because the endianness of the
virtio-net header is in the wrong order. These lines may appear
in the guest console:

[  454.709327] skbuff: bad partial csum: csum=8704/4096 len=74
[  455.702554] skbuff: bad partial csum: csum=8704/4096 len=74

The issue that got first spotted with a ppc64le PowerKVM guest,
but it also exists for the less common case of a x86_64 guest run
by a big-endian ppc64 TCG hypervisor.
