Feng Tang 7858d7bca7 mm/mempolicy: don't handle MPOL_LOCAL like a fake MPOL_PREFERRED policy
MPOL_LOCAL policy has been setup as a real policy, but it is still handled
like a faked POL_PREFERRED policy with one internal MPOL_F_LOCAL flag bit
set, and there are many places having to judge the real 'prefer' or the
'local' policy, which are quite confusing.

In current code, there are 4 cases that MPOL_LOCAL are used:

1. user specifies 'local' policy

2. user specifies 'prefer' policy, but with empty nodemask

3. system 'default' policy is used

4. 'prefer' policy + valid 'preferred' node with MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES
   flag set, and when it is 'rebind' to a nodemask which doesn't contains
   the 'preferred' node, it will perform as 'local' policy

So make 'local' a real policy instead of a fake 'prefer' one, and kill
MPOL_F_LOCAL bit, which can greatly reduce the confusion for code reading.

For case 4, the logic of mpol_rebind_preferred() is confusing, as Michal
Hocko pointed out:

: I do believe that rebinding preferred policy is just bogus and it should
: be dropped altogether on the ground that a preference is a mere hint from
: userspace where to start the allocation.  Unless I am missing something
: cpusets will be always authoritative for the final placement.  The
: preferred node just acts as a starting point and it should be really
: preserved when cpusets changes.  Otherwise we have a very subtle behavior
: corner cases.

So dump all the tricky transformation between 'prefer' and 'local', and
just record the new nodemask of rebinding.
