Revert task flag re-ordering, add comments
Roland points out that the flags end up having non-obvious dependencies elsewhere, so revert aa55a08687059aa169d10a313c41f238c2070488 and add some comments about why things are as they are. We'll just have to fix up the broken comparisons. Roland has a patch. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
