Subject: [PATCH 3.12 028/107] compat: fix sys_fanotify_mark

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@...ibm.com>

commit 592f6b842f64e416c7598a1b97c649b34241e22d upstream.

Commit 91c2e0bcae72 ("unify compat fanotify_mark(2), switch to
COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE") added a new unified compat fanotify_mark syscall
to be used by all architectures.

Unfortunately the unified version merges the split mask parameter in a
wrong way: the lower and higher word got swapped.

This was discovered with glibc's tst-fanotify test case.
