arm64: module: ensure instruction is little-endian before manipulation
Relocations that require an instruction immediate to be re-encoded must ensure that the instruction pattern is represented in a little-endian format for the manipulation code to work correctly. This patch converts the loaded instruction into native-endianess prior to encoding and then converts back to little-endian byteorder before updating memory.
