[PATCH v3 3/4] block nbd: use req.cookie instead of req.handle

[Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>]

The NBD spec was recently changed [1] to refer to the opaque client
identifier as a 'cookie' rather than a 'handle', but has for a much
longer time listed it as a 64-bit value, and declares that all values
in the NBD protocol are sent in network byte order (big-endian).

Because the value is opaque to the server, it doesn't usually matter
what endianness we send as the client - as long as we are consistent
that either we byte-swap on both write and read, or on neither, then
we can match server replies back to our requests.  That said, our
internal use of the cookie is as a 64-bit number (well, as two 32-bit
numbers concatenated together), rather than as 8 individual bytes; so
prior to this commit, we ARE leaking the native endianness of our
internals as a client out to the server.  We don't know of any server
that will actually inspect the opaque value and behave differently
depending on whether a little-endian or big-endian client is sending
requests, but since we DO log the cookie value, a wireshark capture of
the network traffic is easier to correlate back to the kernel traffic
of a big-endian host (where the u64 and char[8] representations are
the same) than of a little-endian host (where if wireshark honors the
NBD spec and displays a u64 in network byte order, it is byte-swapped
from what the kernel logged).

The fix in this patch is thus two-part: it now consistently uses
network byte order for the opaque value (no difference to a big-endian
machine, but an extra byteswap on a little-endian machine; probably in
the noise compared to the overhead of network traffic in general), and
now uses a 64-bit integer instead of char[8] as its preferred access
to the opaque value (direct assignment instead of memcpy()).

v3: squash original 2/5 and 4/5 into one patch, to avoid intermediate
duplication through a tmp variable [Ming].  Josef's R-b added, since
the final outcome of the squash is unchanged.
