Subject: [PATCH v3] powerpc32: rearrange instructions order in ip_fast_csum()

On PPC_8xx, lwz has a 2 cycles latency, and branching also takes
2 cycles. On some other powerpc, lwz has 3 cycles.

As the size of the header is minimum 5 words, we can unroll the loop
for the first words to reduce number of branching, and we can re-order
the instructions to limit loading latency.

Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@....fr>

 v3: Only use lwzu for the last load as lwzu has undocumented
 	additional latency
