[PATCH] mm: mempolicy: fix policy_nodemask() for MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY case

[Muchun Song]

policy_nodemask() is supposed to be returned a nodemask representing a mempolicy
for filtering nodes for page allocation, which is a hard restriction (see the user
of allowed_mems_nr() in hugetlb.c).  However, MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY is a preferred
mode not a hard restriction.  Now it breaks the user of HugeTLB.  Remove it from
policy_nodemask() to fix it, which will not affect current users of policy_nodemask()
since all of the users already have handled the case of MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY before
calling it.  BTW, it is found by code inspection.
