[PATCH V2] staging: rtl8723au: Remove unneeded endianness conversions

Fixing Sparse warnings in rtw_security.c. When checking crc, both
actual and expected value was converted to cpu endianness before
comparing, causing sparse warnings as below. Since the values are
read from the buffer in correct byte order the extra conversions
should not be needed.

Thanks to Larry Finger for help sorting this out.
