3.16.63-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: "Naveen N. Rao" naveen.n.rao@linux.vnet.ibm.com
commit 9258227e9dd1da8feddb07ad9702845546a581c9 upstream.
When CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE is not set, we look up dtl_idx in the lppaca to determine the number of entries in the buffer. Since lppaca is in big endian, we need to do an endian conversion before using this in our calculation to determine the number of entries in the buffer. Without this, we do not iterate over the existing entries in the DTL buffer properly.
