Subject: [PATCH] proc: fix kflags to uflags copying in /proc/kpageflags

Fix kpf_copy_bit(src,dst) to be kpf_copy_bit(dst,src) to match the
actual call patterns, e.g. kpf_copy_bit(kflags, KPF_LOCKED, PG_locked).

This misplacement of src/dst only affected reporting of PG_writeback,
PG_reclaim and PG_buddy. For others kflags==uflags so not affected.

This is a tested and trivial no-side-effect fix.
I'd suggest it for 2.6.29-rc7 and 2.6.28.X kernels.
