[PATCH] mm/mempolicy: fix a race between offset_il_node and mpol_rebind_task

[yanghui <yanghui.def@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Servers happened below panic:

The reason of panic is that MAX_NUMNODES is passd in the third parameter
in function __alloc_pages_nodemask(preferred_nid). So if to access
zonelist->zoneref->zone_idx in __next_zones_zonelist the panic will happen.

In offset_il_node(), first_node() return nid from pol->v.nodes, after
this other threads may changed pol->v.nodes before next_node().
This race condition will let next_node return MAX_NUMNODES.So put
pol->nodes in a local variable.

The race condition is between offset_il_node and cpuset_change_task_nodemask:
CPU0:                                     CPU1:
alloc_pages_vma()
  interleave_nid(pol,)
    offset_il_node(pol,)
      first_node(pol->v.nodes)            cpuset_change_task_nodemask
                      //nodes==0xc          mpol_rebind_task
                                              mpol_rebind_policy
                                                mpol_rebind_nodemask(pol,nodes)
                      //nodes==0x3
      next_node(nid, pol->v.nodes)//return MAX_NUMNODES
