From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit aa9f7d5172fac9bf1f09e678c35e287a40a7b7dd upstream. Using an empty (malformed) nodelist that is not caught during mount option parsing leads to a stack-out-of-bounds access. The option string that was used was: "mpol=prefer:,". However, MPOL_PREFERRED requires a single node number, which is not being provided here. Add a check that 'nodes' is not empty after parsing for MPOL_PREFERRED's nodeid.
