netdevsim: print IPsec salt/key in network byte order

nsim_sa.key[] and nsim_sa.salt hold raw key material in network byte
order, but are typed as plain u32 and printed with "%08x" in the
debugfs read handler. This prints host-endian, so output differs
between little- and big-endian hosts for the same key:

  little-endian: salt=0x61626364 key=0x34333231 38373635 32313039 36353433
  big-endian:    salt=0x64636261 key=0x31323334 35363738 39303132 33343536

This breaks selftests/net/rtnetlink.sh's ipsec_offload subtest on
big-endian (e.g. s390x), which hardcodes the little-endian output.

Retype key[]/salt to __be32, matching ipaddr[], and convert with
be32_to_cpu() before printing. Output is now network-order on every
host, independent of endianness.

A similar fix was proposed in 2022 but kept the u32 typing, so sparse
couldn't validate the added ntohl() calls and it stalled in review.
Retyping first avoids that problem. `make C=2` on netdevsim reports
the same zero warnings as before this change.

Selftest update follows in the next patch.
