powerpc/net: Implement powerpc specific csum_shift() to remove branch
Today's implementation of csum_shift() leads to branching based on
parity of 'offset'

Use first bit of 'offset' directly as input of the rotation instead of
branching.

And change to left shift instead of right shift to skip one more
instruction. This has no impact on the final sum.

Seems like only powerpc benefits from a branchless implementation.
Other main architectures like ARM or X86 get better code with
the generic implementation and its branch.
