Since commit 1ba3cbf3ec3b ("mm: kfence: improve the performance of
__kfence_alloc() and __kfence_free()"), kfence reports failures in
random places at boot on big endian machines.

The problem is that the new KFENCE_CANARY_PATTERN_U64 encodes the
address of each byte in its value, so it needs to be byte swapped on big
endian machines.

The compiler is smart enough to do the le64_to_cpu() at compile time, so
there is no runtime overhead.

Fixes: 1ba3cbf3ec3b ("mm: kfence: improve the performance of __kfence_alloc() and __kfence_free()")
