[PATCH][Fix] swsusp: do not use memcpy for snapshotting memory

["Rafael J. Wysocki" <rjw@sisk.pl>]

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.
