Subject: [PATCH net-next 3/7] net: ipa: ignore endianness if there is no header

If we program an RX endpoint to have no header (header length is 0),
header-related endpoint configuration values are meaningless and are
ignored.

The only case we support that defines a header is QMAP endpoints.
In ipa_endpoint_init_hdr_ext() we set the endianness mask value
unconditionally, but it should not be done if there is no header
(meaning it is not configured for QMAP).

Set the endianness conditionally, and rearrange the logic in that
function slightly to avoid testing the qmap flag twice.

Delete an incorrect comment in ipa_endpoint_init_aggr().
