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.
