All fields in pkt->hdr are little-endian.  All fields in the
af_vsockmon_hdr are little-endian too.

Normally code operating on either of these structs byteswaps the fields.
Therefore it seemed worth a comment to clarify that it's okay to omit
byteswaps.  The comment will help anyone auditing the code for
endianness bugs.

Why do you say it doesn't make sense?

You are right, make C=2 warns about this and it should be le16_to_cpu().
I'll run check builds from now on.
