no_context is zero in the caller in fs/proc/task_mmu.c, and one in the
mm/shmem.c caller. So it's not always true (for mpol_parse_str() there
is only one caller, and it's always true as Hugh said).

Anyway, I do not know why Hugh took the true case, but I don't really
imagine that it matters. So I'll take these two patches, but it would
be good if you double-checked this, Hugh.

Hugh?
