[PATCH v2 3/5] MIPS: LLVMLinux: Fix an 'inline asm input/output type mismatch' error.

[Daniel Sanders]

Replace incorrect matching constraint that caused the error with an alternative
that still has the required constraints on the inline assembly.

This is the error message reported by clang:
arch/mips/include/asm/checksum.h:285:27: error: unsupported inline asm: input with type '__be32' (aka 'unsigned int') matching output with type 'unsigned short'
          "0" (htonl(len)), "1" (htonl(proto)), "r" (sum));
                                 ^~~~~~~~~~~~

The changed code can be compiled successfully by both gcc and clang.

Rewrote the patch following Maciej's suggestion where he observed that
the assembly was somewhat strange and suggested correcting the
constraints and using a local of matching type.
