[PATCH 04/12] mm/mempolicy: allow preferred code to take a nodemask

[Ben Widawsky]

From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Create a helper function (mpol_new_preferred_many()) which is usable
both by the old, single-node MPOL_PREFERRED and the new
MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY.

Enforce the old single-node MPOL_PREFERRED behavior in the "new"
version of mpol_new_preferred() which calls mpol_new_preferred_many().
