The initial aim is to keep consistent with the above two lines,
but for now, I think there is no need to call bswap_if_needed()
for LoongArch, the related changes are not necessary, I will
drop them too.

LoongArch is little-endian, the __BYTE_ORDER is defined as
__LITTLE_ENDIAN, and elf->ehdr.e_ident[EI_DATA] is 1 which
is equal with ELFDATA2LSB, so need_bswap() returns false.

static inline bool need_bswap(struct elf *elf)
{
return (__BYTE_ORDER == __LITTLE_ENDIAN) ^
(elf->ehdr.e_ident[EI_DATA] == ELFDATA2LSB);
}

Thank you very much for your review, sorry for that.

Thanks,
Tiezhu
