Subject: [v3 PATCH 2/3] mm/mempolicy: don't handle MPOL_LOCAL like a fake MPOL_PREFERRED policy

MPOL_LOCAL policy has been setup as a real policy, but it is still
handled like a faked POL_PREFERRED policy with one internal
MPOL_F_LOCAL flag bit set, and there are many places having to
judge the real 'prefer' or the 'local' policy, which are quite
confusing.

In current code, there are 4 cases that MPOL_LOCAL are used:
1. user specifies 'local' policy
2. user specifies 'prefer' policy, but with empty nodemask
3. system 'default' policy is used
4. 'prefer' policy + valid 'preferred' node with MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES
   flag set, and when it is 'rebind' to a nodemask which doesn't
   contains the 'preferred' node, it will perform as 'local' policy

So make 'local' a real policy instead of a fake 'prefer' one, and
kill MPOL_F_LOCAL bit, which can greatly reduce the confusion for
code reading.

For case 4, the logic of mpol_rebind_preferred() is confusing, as
Michal Hocko pointed out:

 "
 I do believe that rebinding preferred policy is just bogus and
 it should be dropped altogether on the ground that a preference
 is a mere hint from userspace where to start the allocation.
 Unless I am missing something cpusets will be always authoritative
 for the final placement. The preferred node just acts as a starting
 point and it should be really preserved when cpusets changes.
 Otherwise we have a very subtle behavior corner cases.
 "
So dump all the tricky transformation between 'prefer' and 'local',
and just record the new nodemask of rebinding.
