As a result of commit 5606e3877ad8 ("mm: numa: Migrate on reference
policy"), /proc/<pid>/numa_maps prints the mempolicy for any <pid> as
"prefer:N" for the local node, N, of the process reading the file.
This should only be printed when the mempolicy of <pid> is MPOL_PREFERRED
for node N.
If the process is actually only using the default mempolicy for local node
allocation, make sure "default" is printed as expected.

This affects all 3.7+ kernels and is intended for stable but will need to
be rebased after it's merged since mpol_to_str() has subsequently
changed. I'll rebase and propose it separately.
