[v3 PATCH 3/3] mm/mempolicy: unify the parameter sanity check for mbind and set_mempolicy

[Feng Tang]

Currently the kernel_mbind() and kernel_set_mempolicy() do almost
the same operation for parameter sanity check.

Add a helper function to unify the code to reduce the redundancy,
and make it easier for changing the pre-processing code in future.

[thanks to David Rientjes for suggesting using helper function
instead of macro]
