This fixes a bug for xfsdump writing to a file.  In certain circumstances
when the global header was rewritten to the media file, it would not be
endian converted.

Dumps previous to this fix cannot be restored.

Unfortunately I don't have the system to test my fix, so any feedback
would be appreciated.  xfsdump/xfsrestore continue to pass qa tests,
and file dumps continue to be compatible with IRIX.
