Typically, the cryptographic APIs that fscrypt uses take keys as byte
arrays, which avoids endianness issues. However, siphash_key_t is an
exception. It is defined as 'u64 key[2];', i.e. the 128-bit key is
expected to be given directly as two 64-bit words in CPU endianness.
fscrypt_derive_dirhash_key() forgot to take this into account.
Therefore, the SipHash keys used to index encrypted+casefolded
directories differ on big endian vs. little endian platforms.
This makes such directories non-portable between these platforms.
Fix this by always using the little endian order. This is a breaking
change for big endian platforms, but this should be fine in practice
since the encrypt+casefold support isn't known to actually be used on
any big endian platforms yet.
