[PATCH] mm/mempolicy: add node_empty check in SYSC_migrate_pages

From: Yisheng Xie

As Xiaojun reported the ltp of migrate_pages01 will failed on ARCH arm64
system whoes has 4 nodes[0...3], all have memory and CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT=2:

migrate_pages01 0 TINFO : test_invalid_nodes
migrate_pages01 14 TFAIL : migrate_pages_common.c:45: unexpected failure - returned value = 0, expected: -1
migrate_pages01 15 TFAIL : migrate_pages_common.c:55: call succeeded unexpectedly

In this case the test_invalid_nodes of migrate_pages01 will call:
SYSC_migrate_pages as:

migrate_pages(0, , {0x0000000000000001}, 64, , {0x0000000000000010}, 64) = 0

For MAX_NUMNODES is 4, so 0x10 nodemask will tread as empty set which makes
nodes_subset(*new, node_states[N_MEMORY])

return true, as empty set is subset of any set.

So this is a common issue which also can happens in X86_64 system eg. 8 nodes[0..7],
all with memory and CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT=3. Fix it by adding node_empty check in
SYSC_migrate_pages.
