Suppose the current mempolicy nodes is 0-2, we can remap it from 0-2 to 2,
then we can remap it from 2 to 1, but we can't remap it from 2 to 0-2.
that is to say it can't be remaped to a large set of allowed nodes, and the task
just can use the small set of nodes for ever, even the large set of nodes is allowed,
I think it is unreasonable.
