MPOL_MF_LAZY was added by commit b24f53a0bea3 ("mm: mempolicy: Add
MPOL_MF_LAZY"), then it was disabled by commit a720094ded8c ("mm:
mempolicy: Hide MPOL_NOOP and MPOL_MF_LAZY from userspace for now")
right away in 2012. So, it is never ever exported to userspace.
And, it looks nobody is interested in revisiting it since it was
disabled 7 years ago. So, it sounds pointless to still keep it around.

Hi folks,
I'm not sure if you still would like to revisit it later. And, I may be
not the first one to try to remvoe it. IMHO, it sounds pointless to still
keep it around if nobody is interested in it.
