[PATCH] net: fix signed shift overflow in IPv6 phdr cksum

In rte_ipv6_phdr_cksum() the next header field, a uint8_t, is promoted to
a signed int before the left shift by 24. For protocol values >= 128
(for example IPPROTO_SCTP), proto << 24 does not fit in int, which is
undefined behaviour (signed left shift overflow) reported by UBSan:
rte_ip6.h: runtime error: left shift of 132 by 24 places cannot be
represented in type 'int'
Cast the operand to uint32_t before the shift so it is performed in
unsigned arithmetic. The resulting value is unchanged on two's
complement platforms. The same idiom is already used in RTE_IPV4().
Fixes: 6006818cfb26 ("net: new checksum functions")
