Revert "powerpc/64: Fix checksum folding in csum_add()"
This reverts commit 6ad966d7303b70165228dba1ee8da1a05c10eefe.
That commit was pointless, because csum_add() sums two 32 bits
values, so the sum is 0x1fffffffe at the maximum.
And then when adding upper part (1) and lower part (0xfffffffe),
the result is 0xffffffff which doesn't carry.
Any lower value will not carry either.
And behind the fact that this commit is useless, it also kills the
whole purpose of having an arch specific inline csum_add()
because the resulting code gets even worse than what is obtained
with the generic implementation of csum_add()

In comparison, the generic implementation of csum_add() gives:
0000000000000290 <.csum_add>:
290: 7c 63 22 14 add r3,r3,r4

2a4: 78 63 00 20 clrldi r3,r3,32
2a8: 4e 80 00 20 blr
And the reverted implementation for PPC64 gives:
0000000000000240 <.csum_add>:
240: 7c 84 1a 14 add r4,r4,r3
