mempolicy: mPOL_PREFERRED cleanups for "local allocation" 

Here are a couple of "cleanups" for MPOL_PREFERRED behavior when
v.preferred_node < 0 -- i.e., "local allocation":

1)  [do_]get_mempolicy() calls the now renamed get_policy_nodemask()
    to fetch the nodemask associated with a policy.  Currently,
    get_policy_nodemask() returns the set of nodes with memory, when
    the policy 'mode' is 'PREFERRED, and the preferred_node is < 0.
    Change to return an empty nodemask, as this is what was specified
    to achieve "local allocation".

2)  When a task is moved into a [new] cpuset, mpol_rebind_policy() is
    called to adjust any task and vma policy nodes to be valid in the
    new cpuset.  However, when the policy is MPOL_PREFERRED, and the
    preferred_node is <0, no rebind is necessary.  The "local allocation"
    indication is valid in any cpuset.  Existing code will "do the right
    thing" because node_remap() will just return the argument node when
    it is outside of the valid range of node ids.  However, I think it is
    clearer and cleaner to skip the remap explicitly in this case.

3)  mpol_to_str() produces a printable, "human readable" string from a
    struct mempolicy.  For MPOL_PREFERRED with preferred_node <0,  show
    "local", as this indicates local allocation, as the task migrates
    among nodes.  Note that this matches the usage of "local allocation"
    in libnuma() and numactl.  Without this change, I believe that node_set()
    [via set_bit()] will set bit 31, resulting in a misleading display.
