mm/hugetlb: add dedicated func to get 'allowed' nodemask for current process

Muchun Song found that after MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY policy was introduced in
commit b27abaccf8e8 ("mm/mempolicy: add MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY for multiple
preferred nodes"), the policy_nodemask_current()'s semantics for this new
policy has been changed, which returns 'preferred' nodes instead of
'allowed' nodes.

With the changed semantic of policy_nodemask_current, a task with
MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY policy could fail to get its reservation even though
it can fall back to other nodes (either defined by cpusets or all online
nodes) for that reservation failing mmap calles unnecessarily early.

The fix is to not consider MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY for reservations at all
because they, unlike MPOL_MBIND, do not pose any actual hard constrain.

Michal suggested the policy_nodemask_current() is only used by hugetlb,
and could be moved to hugetlb code with more explicit name to enforce the
'allowed' semantics for which only MPOL_BIND policy matters.

apply_policy_zone() is made extern to be called in hugetlb code and its
return value is changed to bool.
