Since its inception, ceph has presented the fsid as an opaque value
without any sort of endianness conversion. This means that the value
presented is different on architectures of different endianness.

While the value that should be stuffed into f_fsid is poorly-defined,
I think it would be best to strive for consistency here between
architectures, and clients (we need to present this properly to the
userland client as well).

Change ceph_statfs to convert the opaque words to host-endian before
doing the xor. The value will change between reboots on big-endian
architectures, but it should not change on little-endian ones.

I should probably have sent this as an RFC, and that last sentence was
poorly worded. Let me try again:

"On an upgrade, a big-endian box may see a different fsid than it did
 before, but little-endian arches should see no change with this patch."

Yeah, sounds good!
