[PATCH] net: qrtr: use protocol endiannes variable

[Nicholas Mc Guire]

sparse was unable to verify endianness correctness due to reassignment
from le32_to_cpu to the same variable - fix this warning up by providing
a proper __le32 type and initializing it. This is not actually fixing
any bug - rather just addressing the sparse warning.

Problem located by an experimental coccinelle script to locate
patters that make sparse unhappy (false positives):

sparse was unhappy about:
net/qrtr/qrtr.c:811:24: warning: cast to restricted __le32

The patch does change the binary - from inspection of the .lst files
it seems that the additional variable as well instruction reordering
constraints change the code even if the code-logic is the same.

Patch was compile-tested with: qcom_defconfig + QRTR=m

Patch is against 5.1 (localversion-next is next-20190509)
