2ef297af07 coccinelle: new inplace-byteswaps.cocci to remove inplace-byteswapping calls
Add a new Coccinelle script which replaces uses of the inplace
byteswapping functions *_to_cpus() and cpu_to_*s() with their
not-in-place equivalents. This is useful for where the swapping
is done on members of a packed struct -- taking the address
of the member to pass it to an inplace function is undefined
behaviour in C.
