xfs_validate_extents() is reading in-core extents which have already
been byte-swapped when they were read into memory.

FWIW, when changing anything to do with endian conversion, please
ensure you run:

$ make C=2 CHECKFLAGS="-D__CHECK_ENDIAN__"

over the change. This change would introduce errors because:

typedef struct xfs_bmbt_rec_host {
        __uint64_t              l0, l1;
} xfs_bmbt_rec_host_t;

is not defined with __beXX types like the disk format version of this
structure which is:

typedef struct xfs_bmbt_rec_64 {
        __be64                  l0, l1;
} xfs_bmbt_rec_64_t;

Cheers,

Dave.
