Subject: [PATCH] mempolicy: alloc_pages_mpol() for NUMA policy without vma:
 fix

mm-unstable commit 48a7bd12d57f ("mempolicy: alloc_pages_mpol() for NUMA
policy without vma") ended read_swap_cache_async() supporting NULL vma -
okay; but missed the NULL mpol being passed to __read_swap_cache_async()
by zswap_writeback_entry() - oops!

Since its other callers all give good mpol, add get_task_policy(current)
there in mm/zswap.c, to produce the same good-enough behaviour as before
(and task policy, acted on in current task, does not require the refcount
to be dup'ed).

But if that policy is (quite reasonably) MPOL_INTERLEAVE, then ilx must
be NO_INTERLEAVE_INDEX rather than 0, to provide the same distribution
as before: move that definition from mempolicy.c to mempolicy.h.
