I named like this because it became a new member of check_range() family.
So it's better to rename all of the family. An attached patch does this.

I also added some comment on check_range().

Subject: [PATCH] mempolicy: rename check_*range to queue_pages_*range
The function check_range() (and its family) is not well-named, because
it does not only checking something, but moving pages from list to list
to do page migration for them.
So queue_pages_*range is more desirable name.
