parisc: Strip upper 32 bit of sum in csum_ipv6_magic for 64-bit builds

Browse source 
IPv6 checksum tests with unaligned addresses on 64-bit builds result
in unexpected failures.

Expected expected == csum_result, but
    expected == 46591 (0xb5ff)
    csum_result == 46381 (0xb52d)
with alignment offset 1

Oddly enough, the problem disappeared after adding test code into
the beginning of csum_ipv6_magic().

As it turns out, the 'sum' parameter of csum_ipv6_magic() is declared as
__wsum, which is a 32-bit variable. However, it is treated as 64-bit
variable in the 64-bit assembler code. Tests showed that the upper 32 bit
of the register used to pass the variable are _not_ cleared when entering
the function. This can result in checksum calculation errors.

Clearing the upper 32 bit of 'sum' as first operation in the assembler
code fixes the problem.
