mempolicy: add MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES flag

Add an optional mempolicy mode flag, MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES, that suppresses the
node remap when the policy is rebound.

Adds another member to struct mempolicy, nodemask_t user_nodemask, as part of
a union with cpuset_mems_allowed:

	struct mempolicy {
		...
		union {
			nodemask_t cpuset_mems_allowed;
			nodemask_t user_nodemask;
		} w;
	}

that stores the the nodemask that the user passed when he or she created the
mempolicy via set_mempolicy() or mbind().  When using MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES,
which is passed with any mempolicy mode, the user's passed nodemask
intersected with the VMA or task's allowed nodes is always used when
determining the preferred node, setting the MPOL_BIND zonelist, or creating
the interleave nodemask.  This happens whenever the policy is rebound,
including when a task's cpuset assignment changes or the cpuset's mems are
changed.

This creates an interesting side-effect in that it allows the mempolicy
"intent" to lie dormant and uneffected until it has access to the node(s) that
it desires.  For example, if you currently ask for an interleaved policy over
a set of nodes that you do not have access to, the mempolicy is not created
and the task continues to use the previous policy.  With this change, however,
it is possible to create the same mempolicy; it is only effected when access
to nodes in the nodemask is acquired.

It is also possible to mount tmpfs with the static nodemask behavior when
specifying a node or nodemask.  To do this, simply add "=static" immediately
following the mempolicy mode at mount time:

	mount -o remount mpol=interleave=static:1-3

Also removes mpol_check_policy() and folds its logic into mpol_new() since it
is now obsoleted.  The unused vma_mpol_equal() is also removed.
