[PATCH] rds: ib: force endiannes annotation

[Nicholas Mc Guire]

While the endiannes is being handled correctly as indicated by the comment
above the offending line - sparse was unhappy with the missing annotation
as be64_to_cpu() expects a __be64 argument. To mitigate this annotation
issue forced annotation is introduced. Note that this patch has no impact
on the generated binary.

Problem located by an experimental coccinelle script to locate
patters that make sparse unhappy (false positives):
net/rds/ib_recv.c:827:23: warning: cast to restricted __le64

Patch was compile-tested with: x86_64_defconfig + RDS_RDMA=m

Patch was verified not to change the binary by diffing the
generated object code before and after applying the patch.

Patch is against 5.1-rc6 (localversion-next is 20190426)
