PATCH 1/1 arm64: add missing conversion to __wsum in ip_fast_csum()

ARM64 implementation of ip_fast_csum() do most of the work in 128 or 64 bit and call csum_fold() to finalize. csum_fold() itself take a __wsum argument, to insure that this value is always a 32bit native-order value.

Fix this by using an helper __csum_fold() taking the native 32 bit value and doing the needed folding to 16 bit (and reuse this helper for csum_fold() itself).

Note: a simpler patch would to use something like:
return csum_fold((__wsum __force)(sum >> 32));
but using an helper __csum_fold() allow to avoid a forced cast.

But you've added a __force cast in csum_fold, and we still have the one in the return statement of __csum_fold, so I think I prefer the simpler patch.

PATCH v2 1/1 arm64: add missing conversion to __wsum in ip_fast_csum()

ARM64 implementation of ip_fast_csum() do most of the work in 128 or 64 bit and call csum_fold() to finalize. csum_fold() itself take a __wsum argument, to insure that this value is always a 32bit native-order value.

Fix this by adding the sadly needed '__force' to cast the native 'sum' to the type '__wsum'.

---
Change since v1:
- use the simple __force cast instead of an intermediate helper.
