[patch for-3.14] mm, mempolicy: fix mempolicy printing innuma_maps

[David Rientjes]

As a result of commit 5606e3877ad8 ("mm: numa: Migrate on reference 
policy"), /proc/<pid>/numa_maps prints the mempolicy for any <pid> as 
"prefer:N" for the local node, N, of the process reading the file.

This should only be printed when the mempolicy of <pid> is MPOL_PREFERRED 
for node N.

If the process is actually only using the default mempolicy for local node 
allocation, make sure "default" is printed as expected.

 This affects all 3.7+ kernels and is intended for stable but will need to
 be rebased after it's merged since mpol_to_str() has subsequently
 changed.  I'll rebase and propose it separately.
