Rewritten changelog:

commit 05f144a0d5 "mm: mempolicy: Let vma_merge and vma_split handle
vma->vm_policy linkages" removed policy_vma() but the function is
needed in this patchset.


(It is not clear to me what the last sentences mean. AFAICT the code for
policy_vma() still exists in another function prior to this patch)
