Can you please send V2 of patch with an updated commit message.

I would like the section that which lists the impact to "users using
MPOL_MF_STRICT alone" to say something like this:
If MPOL_MF_STRICT alone was previously used, hugetlb pages not following the
memory policy would not cause an EIO error.  After this change, hugetlb pages
are treated like all other pages.  If  MPOL_MF_STRICT alone is used and hugetlb
pages do not follow memory policy an EIO error will be returned.
