[PATCH v1 4/4] mm/mempolicy: kill MPOL_F_LOCAL bit

[Feng Tang <feng.tang@intel.com>]

Now the only remaining case of a real 'local' policy faked by
'prefer' policy plus MPOL_F_LOCAL bit is:

A valid 'prefer' policy with a valid 'preferred' node is 'rebind'
to a nodemask which doesn't contains the 'preferred' node, then it
will handle allocation with 'local' policy.

Add a new 'MPOL_F_LOCAL_TEMP' bit for this case, and kill the
MPOL_F_LOCAL bit, which could simplify the code much.
