[PATCH] mm/mempolicy: ignore a bind policy whose nodes have no memory

["Gregory Price (Meta)" <gourry@gourry.net>]

apply_policy_zone() assumes that policy->nodes intersects N_MEMORY, so
it reads a bind policy with no N_HIGH_MEMORY node as movable-only.

On systems with CONFIG_CPUSETS=n, nothing rebinds policies when memory
is removed, so offlining all memory on the nodes a bind policy names
leaves it with none. The policy is then treated as movable-only, and
movable allocations are restricted to nodes without memory.

This results in allocations failures, a VM_FAULT_OOM leak, and then
an infinitely retrying fault that hangs the process.

  page allocation failure: order:0, mode:0x140dca ... nodemask=2
  Huh VM_FAULT_OOM leaked out to the #PF handler. Retrying PF

Ignore a bind policy whose nodes have no memory. policy_nodemask()
already ignores a bind policy that does not intersect the cpuset.
This covers hugetlb's policy_mbind_nodemask() as well.

If the nodes regain memory, the policy applies again.

CPUSETS=n with HOTREMOVE=y is unlikely a common configuration, so this
isn't marked for stable.
