Subject: [055/116] tmpfs: cleanup mpol_parse_str()

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@...fujitsu.com>

commit 926f2ae04f183098cf9a30521776fb2759c8afeb upstream.

mpol_parse_str() made lots 'err' variable related bug.  Because it is ugly
and reviewing unfriendly.

This patch simplifies it.
