[PATCH] reiserfs endianness: sanitize reiserfs_key union

Since we only access reiserfs_key ->u.k_offset_v2 guts in four helper
functions, we are free to sanitize those, as long as

- layout of the structure is unchanged (it's on-disk object)

- behaviour of these helpers is same as before.

Patch kills the mess with endianness-dependent bitfields and replaces them
with a single __le64.  Helpers are switched to straightforward shift/and/or.

Benefits:

- exact same definitions for little- and big-endian architectures; no ifdefs
  in sight.

- generate the same code on little-endian and improved on big-endian.

- doesn't rely on lousy bitfields handling in gcc codegenerator.

- happens to be standard C (unsigned long long is not a valid type for a
  bitfield; it's a gccism and not well-implemented one, at that).
