mempolicy: mPOL_PREFERRED cleanups for "local allocation"
Here are a couple of "cleanups" for MPOL_PREFERRED behavior when v.preferred_node < 0 -- i.e., "local allocation": 1) [do_]get_mempolicy() calls the now renamed get_policy_nodemask() to fetch the nodemask associated with a policy. Currently, get_policy_nodemask() returns the set of nodes with memory, when the policy 'mode' is 'PREFERRED, and the preferred_node is < 0. Change to return an empty nodemask, as this is what was specified to achieve "local allocation". 2) When a task is moved into a [new] cpuset, mpol_rebind_policy() is called to adjust any task and vma policy nodes to be valid in the new cpuset. However, when the policy is MPOL_PREFERRED, and the preferred_node is <0, no rebind is necessary. The "local allocation" indication is valid in any cpuset. Existing code will "do the right thing" because node_remap() will just return the argument node when it is outside of the valid range of node ids. However, I think it is clearer and cleaner to skip the remap explicitly in this case. 3) mpol_to_str() produces a printable, "human readable" string from a struct mempolicy. For MPOL_PREFERRED with preferred_node <0, show "local", as this indicates local allocation, as the task migrates among nodes. Note that this matches the usage of "local allocation" in libnuma() and numactl. Without this change, I believe that node_set() [via set_bit()] will set bit 31, resulting in a misleading display.
