You should add lockdep annotation for alloc_lock/task_lock here for clarity and 
also...

I do not think that all get_vma_policy take task_lock (just random check
dequeue_hugetlb_folio_vma->huge_node->get_vma_policy AFAICS)

Also I do not see policy_nodemask to be handled anywhere. That one is
used along with get_vma_policy (sometimes hidden like in
alloc_pages_mpol). It has a dependency on
cpuset_nodemask_valid_mems_allowed. That means that e.g. mbind on a
remote task would be constrained by current task cpuset when allocating
migration targets for the target task. I am wondering how many other
dependencies like that are lurking there.
