Subject: [PATCH v3] include/uapi/linux/swab.h: move explicit cast outside ternary

From: Justin Stitt <jstitt007@...il.com>

A cast inside __builtin_constant_p doesn't do anything since it should
evaluate as constant at compile time irrespective of this cast. Instead,
I moved this cast outside the ternary to ensure the return type is as
expected.

Additionally, if __HAVE_BUILTIN_BSWAP16__ was not defined then __swab16
is actually returning an `int` not a `u16` due to integer promotion.

As Al Viro notes:
You *can't* get smaller-than-int out of ? :, same as you can't get it
out of addition, etc.

This also fixes some clang -Wformat warnings involving default
argument promotion.

 diff from v2 -> v3:
  * re-insert respective (u16, u32, u64) cast to __builtin_bswap as per
     Nick's suggestion
  * added note from Al Viro
