When MPOL_MF_STRICT was specified and an existing page was already

But commit 6f4576e3687b ("mempolicy: apply page table walker on
queue_pages_range()") broke the rule.

And, commit c8633798497c ("mm: mempolicy: mbind and migrate_pages
support thp migration") didn't return the correct value for THP mbind()
too.

If MPOL_MF_STRICT is set, ignore vma_migratable() to make sure it reaches
queue_pages_to_pte_range() or queue_pages_pmd() to check if an existing
page was already on a node that does not follow the policy.  And,
non-migratable vma may be used, return -EIO too if MPOL_MF_MOVE or
MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL was specified.

Tested with https://github.com/metan-ucw/ltp/blob/master/testcases/kernel/syscalls/mbind/mbind02.c

Thanks.  I think this needs stable for 4.0+, can you confirm?

Thanks. Yes, this needs stable for 4.0+.
