From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com>
set_mempolicy_home_node tries to duplicate a memory policy before
checking it whether it is applicable for the operation. There is
no real reason for doing that and it might actually be a pointless
memory allocation and deallocation exercise for MPOL_INTERLEAVE.
Not a big problem but we can do better. Simply check the policy before
acting on it.
[ Mathieu: compile-tested only. Tested-by would be welcome. ]
