mempolicy: rename mpol_copy to mpol_dup

This patch renames mpol_copy() to mpol_dup() because, well, that's what it
does.  Like, e.g., strdup() for strings, mpol_dup() takes a pointer to an
existing mempolicy, allocates a new one and copies the contents.

In a later patch, I want to use the name mpol_copy() to copy the contents from
one mempolicy to another like, e.g., strcpy() does for strings.
