[PATCH] arm64: csum: cast to the proper type

The last line of ip_fast_csum() calls csum_fold(), forcing the
type of the argument passed to be u32.  But csum_fold() takes a
__wsum argument (which is __u32 __bitwise for arm64).  As long
as we're forcing the cast, cast it to the right type.

With this patch in place, quite a few "different base types" sparse
warnings go away on a full arm64 kernel build.  More specifically:
  warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different base types)
     expected restricted __wsum [usertype] csum
     got unsigned int [usertype]
