Subject: mempolicy: fix get_mempolicy() for relative and static nodes
From: Lee Schermerhorn <lee.schermerhorn@xxxxxx>

Discovered while testing other mempolicy changes:

get_mempolicy() does not handle static/relative mode flags correctly.
Return the value that the user specified so that it can be restored
via set_mempolicy() if desired.
