MPIDense row distribution on transpose.

[Barry Smith]

   Alex,

      This is really a bug, we should consistently using use the  
transpose of the given
values (I guess).

     I have pushed a fix for petsc-dev. You can fix your copy of  
petsc-2.3.3 by
simply sticking in the code you indicated from MatTranspose_MPIAIJ()
