But on tmpfs, that also pessimized out the vital call to its ->set_policy(), leaving the new mbind unenforced. The user visible effect was that the pages got allocated on the local node (happened to be 0), after the mbind() caller had specifically asked for them to be allocated on node 1. There was not any page migration involved in the case reported: the pages simply got allocated on the wrong node. Just delete that optimization now (though it could be made conditional on vma not having a set_policy). Also remove the "next" variable: it turned out to be blameless, but also pointless.
