Subject: [PATCH 28/45] mm: add kernel_[sg]et_mempolicy() helpers; remove in-kernel calls to syscalls

Using the mm-internal kernel_[sg]et_mempolicy() helper allows us to get
rid of the mm-internal calls to the sys_[sg]et_mempolicy() syscalls.

This patch is part of a series which tries to remove in-kernel calls to
syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.
