[PATCH 0/5] Memory policy corruption fixes V2

[Mel Gorman]

This is a rebase with some small changes to Kosaki's "mempolicy memory
corruption fixlet" series. I had expected that Kosaki would have revised
the series by now but it's been waiting a long time.

Changelog since V1
o Rebase to 3.6-rc2
o Editted some of the changelogs
o Converted sp->lock to sp->mutex to close a race in shared_policy_replace()
o Reworked the refcount imbalance fix slightly
o Do not call mpol_put in shmem_alloc_page.

I tested this with trinity with CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB enabled and it passed. I
did not test LTP such as Josh reported a problem with or with a database that
used shared policies like Andi tested. The series is almost all Kosaki's
work of course. If he has a revised series that simply got delayed in
posting it should take precedence.
