[PATCH 07/10] Cpuset: numa_policy_rebind cleanup

[Paul Jackson]

Cleanup, reorganize and make more robust the mempolicy.c code
to rebind mempolicies relative to the containing cpuset after
a tasks memory placement changes.

The real motivator for this cleanup patch is to lay more
groundwork for the upcoming patch to correctly rebind NUMA
mempolicies that are attached to vma's after the containing
cpuset memory placement changes.

NUMA mempolicies are constrained by the cpuset their task is
a member of.  When either (1) a task is moved to a different
cpuset, or (2) the 'mems' mems_allowed of a cpuset is changed,
then the NUMA mempolicies have embedded node numbers (for
MPOL_BIND, MPOL_INTERLEAVE and MPOL_PREFERRED) that need to be
recalculated, relative to their new cpuset placement.

The old code used an unreliable method of determining what was
the old mems_allowed constraining the mempolicy.  It just looked
at the tasks mems_allowed value.  This sort of worked with the
present code, that just rebinds the -task- mempolicy, and leaves
any -vma- mempolicies broken, referring to the old nodes.  But in
an upcoming patch, the vma mempolicies will be rebound as well.
Then the order in which the various task and vma mempolicies
are updated will no longer be deterministic, and one can no
longer count on the task->mems_allowed holding the old value
for as long as needed.  It's not even clear if the current code
was guaranteed to work reliably for task mempolicies.

So I added a mems_allowed field to each mempolicy, stating
exactly what mems_allowed the policy is relative to, and updated
synchronously and reliably anytime that the mempolicy is rebound.

Also removed a useless wrapper routine, numa_policy_rebind(),
and had its caller, cpuset_update_task_memory_state(), call
directly to the rewritten policy_rebind() routine, and made that
rebind routine extern instead of static, and added a "mpol_"
prefix to its name, making it mpol_rebind_policy().
