[PATCH RFC v2 0/4] some fixes and clean up for mempolicy

[Yisheng Xie <xieyisheng1@huawei.com>]

This patchset is triggered by Xiojun's report of ltp test fail[1],
and I have sent a patch to resolve it by check nodes_empty of new_nodes[2].

The new version is to follow Vlastimil's suggestion, which fix by checking
the new_nodes value in function get_nodes. And I just split them to small
patches for easy to review and discussion. For more detail, please look
into each patches.

Change logs of v2:
 * fix get_nodes's mask miscalculation
 * remove redundant check in get_nodes
 * fix the check of nodemask from user - per Vlastimil

Any comment and complain is welome.

Thanks
Yisheng Xie
