More logical parameter order for mpi_sub_hlp

mpi_sub_hlp performs a subtraction A - B, but took parameters in the
order (B, A). Swap the parameters so that they match the usual
mathematical syntax.

This has the additional benefit of putting the output parameter (A)
first, which is the normal convention in this module.
