Subject[PATCH][Fix] swsusp: do not use memcpy for snapshotting memory
Date
swsusp should not use memcpy for snapshotting memory, because on some
architectures memcpy may increase preempt_count. Then, as a result, wrong
value of preempt_count is stored in the image.

Replace memcpy in copy_data_pages with an open-coded loop.
