netdev-linux: Avoid "cleverness" in swap_uint64().
Obviously correct code is easier on everyone. As the C FAQ says:
20.15c: How can I swap two values without using a temporary?
A: The standard hoary old assembly language programmer's trick is:
a ^= b;
b ^= a;
a ^= b;
But this sort of code has little place in modern, HLL
programming. Temporary variables are essentially free,
and the idiomatic code using three assignments, namely
int t = a;
a = b;
b = t;
is not only clearer to the human reader, it is more likely to be
recognized by the compiler and turned into the most-efficient
code (e.g. using a swap instruction, if available). The latter
code is obviously also amenable to use with pointers and
floating-point values, unlike the XOR trick. See also questions
3.3b and 10.3.
