I keep reading this is "page offset policy", as opposed to "policy given a page
offset".  Another oddity that is confusing is that this helper explicitly does
get_task_policy(current), while kvm_gmem_get_policy() lets the caller do that.
The end result is the same, but I think it would be helpful for gmem to be
internally consistent.

If we have kvm_gmem_get_policy() use this helper, then we can kill two birds with
one stone:

static struct mempolicy *__kvm_gmem_get_policy(struct gmem_inode *gi,
					       pgoff_t index)
{
	struct mempolicy *mpol;

	mpol = mpol_shared_policy_lookup(&gi->policy, index);
	return mpol ? mpol : get_task_policy(current);
}

static struct mempolicy *kvm_gmem_get_policy(struct vm_area_struct *vma,
					     unsigned long addr, pgoff_t *pgoff)
{
	*pgoff = vma->vm_pgoff + ((addr - vma->vm_start) >> PAGE_SHIFT);

	return __kvm_gmem_get_policy(GMEM_I(file_inode(vma->vm_file)), *pgoff);
}
