[merged] mm-mempolicy-unify-the-parameter-sanity-check-for-mbind-and-set_mempolicy.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     Subject: mm/mempolicy: unify the parameter sanity check for mbind and set_mempolicy
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-mempolicy-unify-the-parameter-sanity-check-for-mbind-and-set_mempolicy.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

Subject: mm/mempolicy: unify the parameter sanity check for mbind and set_mempolicy

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 sanity check code in future.

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