Jakub reported that the addition of the "network_byte_order"
member in struct nla_policy increases size of 32bit platforms.
Instead of scraping the bit from elsewhere Johannes suggested
to add explicit NLA_BE types instead, so do this here.
NLA_POLICY_MAX_BE() macro is removed again, there is no need
for it: NLA_POLICY_MAX(NLA_BE.., ..) will do the right thing.
NLA_BE64 can be added later.
Fixes: 08724ef699 ("netlink: introduce NLA_POLICY_MAX_BE")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
