mempolicy: add MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES flag

Browse source 
Adds another optional mode flag, MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES, that specifies
nodemasks passed via set_mempolicy() or mbind() should be considered relative
to the current task's mems_allowed.

When the mempolicy is created, the passed nodemask is folded and mapped onto
the current task's mems_allowed.  For example, consider a task using
set_mempolicy() to pass MPOL_INTERLEAVE | MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES with a
nodemask of 1-3.  If current's mems_allowed is 4-7, the effected nodemask is
5-7 (the second, third, and fourth node of mems_allowed).

If the same task is attached to a cpuset, the mempolicy nodemask is rebound
each time the mems are changed.  Some possible rebinds and results are:

	mems			result
	1-3			1-3
	1-7			2-4
	1,5-6			1,5-6
	1,5-7			5-7

Likewise, the zonelist built for MPOL_BIND acts on the set of zones assigned
to the resultant nodemask from the relative remap.

In the MPOL_PREFERRED case, the preferred node is remapped from the currently
effected nodemask to the relative nodemask.

This mempolicy mode flag was conceived of by Paul Jackson <pj@sgi.com>.
