ksm: swap the two output parameters of chain/chain_prune 

Some static checker complains if chain/chain_prune returns a potentially
stale pointer.

There are two output parameters to chain/chain_prune, one is tree_page
the other is stable_node_dup.  Like in get_ksm_page the caller has to
check tree_page is NULL before touching the stable_node.  Similarly in
chain/chain_prune the caller has to check tree_page before touching the
stable_node_dup returned or the original stable_node passed as
parameter.

Because the tree_page is never returned as a stale pointer, it may be
more intuitive to return tree_page and to pass stable_node_dup for
reference instead of the reverse.

This patch purely swaps the two output parameters of chain/chain_prune
as a cleanup for the static checker and to mimic the get_ksm_page
behavior more closely.  There's no change to the caller at all except
the swap, it's purely a cleanup and it is a noop from the caller point
of view.
