Subject: [PATCH 3.16 05/10] vxlan: Fix big-endian declaration of VNI

3.16.67-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ben Hutchings <ben@...adent.org.uk>

In this version of the driver, VNIs are consistently kept in host
order.  However vxlan_fdb_create() erroneously declares its vni
parameter as __be32, which sparse warns about.  Change it to __u32.

This was resolved upstream by commit 54bfd872bf16 "vxlan: keep flags
and vni in network byte order".
