__und_usr_thumb function deals with thumb2 opcodes. In case of BE image, it needs to byteswap half word thumb2 encoded instructions before further processing them.
Without this fix BE image user-land thread executing first VFP instruction encoded in thumb2 fails with SIGILL, because kernel does not recognize instruction and does not enable VFP.
