David Rientjes 3e1f064562 mempolicy: disallow static or relative flags for local preferred mode
MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES and MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES don't mean anything for
MPOL_PREFERRED policies that were created with an empty nodemask (for purely
local allocations).  They'll never be invalidated because the allowed mems of
a task changes or need to be rebound relative to a cpuset's placement.

Also fixes a bug identified by Lee Schermerhorn that disallowed empty
nodemasks to be passed to MPOL_PREFERRED to specify local allocations.  [A
different, somewhat incomplete, patch already existed in 25-rc5-mm1.]
