Subject: [PATCH 047/109] 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 removes in-kernel calls to syscalls.
On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined. For details, see
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180325162527.GA17492@light.dominikbrodowski.net
