mempolicy related code that I skipped by this patch took a short time,
taking only a few tens of nanoseconds that difficult to measure by
sched_clock's degree of precision. But it can be affect the minor page
fault test with large buffer size, because one page fault handling takes
several ms. As I replied in previous mail, performance regression has
been reduced from 5~6% to 2~3%.
