This patch to libgo changes the way that GNU/Linux netlink code is
handled on big-endian systems.  Rather than test whether the system is
big- or little-endian, this code simply uses the native endianness,
whatever it is, via the unsafe package.  Bootstrapped and ran Go
testsuite on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu and powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu.
Committed to mainline and 4.7 branch.
