Data passed to user-space with a (SOL_UDP, UDP_GRO) cmsg carries an
int (see udp_cmsg_recv), not a u16 value, as strace confirms:

  recvmsg(8, {msg_name=...,
              msg_iov=[{iov_base="\0\0..."..., iov_len=96000}],
              msg_iovlen=1,
              msg_control=[{cmsg_len=20,         <-- sizeof(cmsghdr) + 4
                            cmsg_level=SOL_UDP,
                            cmsg_type=0x68}],    <-- UDP_GRO
                            msg_controllen=24,
                            msg_flags=0}, 0) = 11200

Interpreting the data as an u16 value won't work on big-endian platforms.
Since it is too late to back out of this API decision [1], fix the test.

History
Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
