mempolicy: fixup Fallback for Default Shmem Policy
get_vma_policy() is not handling fallback to task policy correctly when the
get_policy() vm_op returns NULL. The NULL overwrites the 'pol' variable that
was holding the fallback task mempolicy. So, it was falling back directly to
system default policy.
Fix get_vma_policy() to use only non-NULL policy returned from the vma
get_policy op.
shm_get_policy() was falling back to current task's mempolicy if the "backing
file system" [tmpfs vs hugetlbfs] does not support the get_policy vm_op and
the vma policy is null. This is incorrect for show_numa_maps() which is
likely querying the numa_maps of some task other than current. Remove this
fallback.
