[PATCH] lib/uuid: fix typo "reversion" to "revision" in comment

[Josh Law]

Fix a typo in __uuid_gen_common() where "reversion" (meaning to revert)
was used instead of "revision" when describing the UUID variant field.

It's up to his process. I know that it's possible. In any case I'm listed as
designated reviewer, this tag formally confirms that I agree with the change
and it is good code wise from my point of view.

Please, read Submitting Patches documentation to clarify this.

I hold patches in quilt form for at least a few weeks before committing
them to non-rebasing git.  One of the many reasons for this is make
changelog alterations super easy.

Btw, I rewrote all your patches to be From: objecting@objecting.org. 
Please use an explicit From: line at the top-of-changelog to
communicate this.  All receiving tools understand this convention.
