Subject: CVE-2022-49567: mm/mempolicy: fix uninit-value in mpol_rebind_policy()

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

mm/mempolicy: fix uninit-value in mpol_rebind_policy()

mpol_set_nodemask()(mm/mempolicy.c) does not set up nodemask when
pol->mode is MPOL_LOCAL.  Check pol->mode before access
pol->w.cpuset_mems_allowed in mpol_rebind_policy()(mm/mempolicy.c).

KMSAN: uninit-value in mpol_rebind_task (2)

This patch seems to fix below bug too.
KMSAN: uninit-value in mpol_rebind_mm (2)
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=f2fecd0d7013f54ec4162f60743a2b28df40926b

The uninit-value is pol->w.cpuset_mems_allowed in mpol_rebind_policy().
When syzkaller reproducer runs to the beginning of mpol_new(),

	    mpol_new() mm/mempolicy.c
	  do_mbind() mm/mempolicy.c
	kernel_mbind() mm/mempolicy.c

`mode` is 1(MPOL_PREFERRED), nodes_empty(*nodes) is `true` and `flags`
is 0. Then

	mode = MPOL_LOCAL;
	...
	policy->mode = mode;
	policy->flags = flags;

will be executed. So in mpol_set_nodemask(),

	    mpol_set_nodemask() mm/mempolicy.c
	  do_mbind()
	kernel_mbind()

pol->mode is 4 (MPOL_LOCAL), that `nodemask` in `pol` is not initialized,
which will be accessed in mpol_rebind_policy().

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2022-49567 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
