Since commit be97a41b ("mm/mempolicy.c: merge alloc_hugepage_vma to alloc_pages_vma") alloc_pages_vma() can potentially free a mempolicy by mpol_cond_put() before accessing the embedded nodemask by __alloc_pages_nodemask(). The commit log says it's so "we can use a single exit path within the function" but that's clearly wrong. We can still do that when doing mpol_cond_put() after the allocation attempt. Make sure the mempolicy is not freed prematurely, otherwise __alloc_pages_nodemask() can end up using a bogus nodemask, which could lead e.g. to premature OOM.
