This patch provides a new function to test whether a page resides
on a node that is appropriate for the mempolicy for the vma and
address where the page is supposed to be mapped.  This involves
looking up the node where the page belongs.  So, the function
returns that node so that it may be used to allocated the page
without consulting the policy again.

A subsequent patch will call this function from the fault path.
Because of this, I don't want to go ahead and allocate the page, e.g.,
via alloc_page_vma() only to have to free it if it has the correct
policy.  So, I just mimic the alloc_page_vma() node computation
logic--sort of.

Note:  we could use this function to implement a MPOL_MF_STRICT
behavior when migrating pages to match mbind() mempolicy--e.g.,
to ensure that pages in an interleaved range are reinterleaved
rather than left where they are when they reside on any page in
the interleave nodemask.

This patch augments the MPOL_MF_LAZY feature by adding a "NOOP" policy
to mbind().  When the NOOP policy is used with the 'MOVE and 'LAZY
flags, mbind() will map the pages PROT_NONE so that they will be
migrated on the next touch.

This allows an application to prepare for a new phase of operation
where different regions of shared storage will be assigned to
worker threads, w/o changing policy.  Note that we could just use
"default" policy in this case.  However, this also allows an
application to request that pages be migrated, only if necessary,
to follow any arbitrary policy that might currently apply to a
range of pages, without knowing the policy, or without specifying
multiple mbind()s for ranges with different policies.

Make MPOL_LOCAL a real and exposed policy such that applications that
relied on the previous default behaviour can explicitly request it.
