With this patch, we now have 3 error paths from mpol_new that need to
free the mempolicy struct. How about consolidating them with something
like this [uncompiled/untested]:
PATCH mempolicy - consolidate mpol_new() error paths
Use common error path in mpol_new() for errors that we discover
after allocation the new mempolicy structure. Free the mempolicy
in the common error path.
