lib/checksum.c: fix endianess bug
The new generic checksum code has a small dependency on endianess and
worked only on big-endian systems. I could not find a nice efficient
way to express this, so I added an #ifdef. Using
'result += le16_to_cpu(*buff);' would have worked as well, but
would be slightly less efficient on big-endian systems and IMHO
would not be clearer.

Also fix a bug that prevents this from working on 64-bit machines.
If you have a 64-bit CPU and want to use the generic checksum
code, you should probably do some more optimizations anyway, but
at least the code should not break.
