Subject: mm/mempolicy: fix use after free when calling get_mempolicy
I hit a use after free issue when executing trinity and repoduced it with
KASAN enabled. The related call trace is as follows.

!shared memory policy is not protected against parallel removal by other
thread which is normally protected by the mmap_sem. do_get_mempolicy,
however, drops the lock midway while we can still access it later. Early
premature up_read is a historical artifact from times when put_user was
called in this path see https://lwn.net/Articles/124754/ but that is gone
since 8bccd85ffbaf ("[PATCH] Implement sys_* do_* layering in the memory
policy layer."). but when we have the the current mempolicy ref count
model. The issue was introduced accordingly.
Fix the issue by removing the premature release.
