[PATCH 5.8 076/148] netfilter: nf_tables: nft_exthdr: the presence return value should be little-endian

[ Upstream commit b428336676dbca363262cc134b6218205df4f530 ]

On big-endian machine, the returned register data when the exthdr is
present is not being compared correctly because little-endian is
assumed. The function nft_cmp_fast_mask(), called by nft_cmp_fast_eval()
and nft_cmp_fast_init(), calls cpu_to_le32().

The following dump also shows that little endian is assumed:

$ nft --debug=netlink add rule ip recordroute forward ip option rr exists counter
ip
[ exthdr load ipv4 1b @ 7 + 0 present => reg 1 ]
[ cmp eq reg 1 0x01000000 ]
[ counter pkts 0 bytes 0 ]

Lastly, debug print in nft_cmp_fast_init() and nft_cmp_fast_eval() when
RR option exists in the packet shows that the comparison fails because
the assumption:

nft_cmp_fast_init:189 priv->sreg=4 desc.len=8 mask=0xff000000 data.data[0]=0x10003e0
nft_cmp_fast_eval:57 regs->data[priv->sreg=4]=0x1 mask=0xff000000 priv->data=0x1000000

v2: use nft_reg_store8() instead (Florian Westphal). Also to avoid the
warnings reported by kernel test robot.
