The quilt patch titled
Subject: mm/mempolicy: do not duplicate policy if it is not applicable for set_mempolicy_home_node
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
mm-mempolicy-do-not-duplicate-policy-if-it-is-not-applicable-for-set_mempolicy_home_node.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: mm/mempolicy: do not duplicate policy if it is not applicable for set_mempolicy_home_node
Date: Fri, 16 Dec 2022 14:45:37 -0500
set_mempolicy_home_node tries to duplicate a memory policy before checking
it whether it is applicable for the operation. There is no real reason
for doing that and it might actually be a pointless memory allocation and
deallocation exercise for MPOL_INTERLEAVE.
Not a big problem but we can do better. Simply check the policy before
acting on it.
