Given the current set of mempolicy modes and flags, it's 34, but this can 
change if new modes or flags are added with longer names.  I see no reason 
why shmem shouldn't round up to the nearest power-of-2 of 64 like it 
already does, but 50 is certainly safe as well in task_mmu.c.

We should need the mpol_cond_put(pol) here before returning.
