David Howells 29ba06b9ed UAPI: fix endianness conditionals in linux/acct.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 ACCT_BYTEORDER in linux/acct.h is wrong in this way.
Note that userspace will likely interpret this incorrectly as the
big-endian variant on little-endian machines - depending on header
inclusion order.

[!!!] NOTE [!!!]  This patch may adversely change the userspace API.  It might
be better to fix the value of ACCT_BYTEORDER.
