MPOL_MF_LAZY is not visible from userspace since 'commit a720094ded8c
("mm: mempolicy: Hide MPOL_NOOP and MPOL_MF_LAZY from userspace for now")'
, but it should still skip non-migratable VMAs.

We have been evaluating the enablement of MPOL_MF_LAZY again, and found
this issue. And we decided to push this patch upstream no matter if we
finally determine to propose re-enablement of MPOL_MF_LAZY or not. Since
it can be a potential problem even if MPOL_MF_LAZY is not enabled this
time.
