arm64: fix endianness annotation for aarch64_insn_write()

Browse source

aarch64_insn_write() is used to write an instruction.
As on ARM64 in-memory instructions are always stored
in little-endian order, this function, taking the instruction
opcode in native order, correctly convert it to little-endian
before sending it to an helper function __aarch64_insn_write()
which will do the effective write.

This is all good, but the variable and argument holding the
converted value are not annotated for a little-endian value
but left for native values.

Fix this by adjusting the prototype of the helper and
directly using the result of cpu_to_le32() without passing
by an intermediate variable (which was not a distinct one
but the same as the one holding the native value).
