David Howells 51b154ed52 UAPI: fix endianness conditionals in linux/aio_abi.h
In the UAPI header files, __BIG_ENDIAN and __LITTLE_ENDIAN must be
compared against __BYTE_ORDER in preprocessor conditionals where these are
exposed to userspace (that is they're not inside __KERNEL__ conditionals).

However, in the main kernel the norm is to check for
"defined(__XXX_ENDIAN)" rather than comparing against __BYTE_ORDER and
this has incorrectly leaked into the userspace headers.

The definition of PADDED() in linux/aio_abi.h is wrong in this way.  Note
that userspace will likely interpret this and thus the order of fields in
struct iocb incorrectly as the little-endian variant on big-endian
machines - depending on header inclusion order.

[!!!] NOTE [!!!]  This patch may adversely change the userspace API.  It might
be better to fix the ordering of aio_key and aio_reserved1 in struct iocb.
