Subject: [PATCH] ext2: Make sb magic number endianness conversion consistent

All ext2_super_block fields are converted from le16 to cpu when checked or
loaded into memory. Magic number check is the only field where we convert the
magic number to le16. So, make the conversion pattern consistent with the
remaining code
