Hmm, excellent point.

You are right, probably would need __cpu_to_be32, which also does
the constant folding.

Subject: [PATCH] tcp: don't use __constant_cpu_to_be32

__cpu_to_be32() can detect __builtin_constant_p() at compile time.
So we can use __cpu_to_be32() instead of __constant_cpu_to_be32().
