Took a fresh look at the code. In v2, verified that the converted
buffer logic is the same as previous: i.e. an 8-bit pointer to
what really is a 32-bit little endian buffer is passed to
FillH2CCmd and used in a memcpy within. Likewise, a 32-bit little endian
mask is used in memcpy. This patch makes the code cleaner with
no confusing reuse of buffers for both little- and (possibly)
big-endian data and clears the sparse errors.
As for __le32 typing, le32 is not available in this scope,
since it is defined under fs/ntfs/types.h.
