tmpfs: fix mempolicy object leaks
Fix several mempolicy leaks in the tmpfs mount logic. These leaks are slow - on the order of one object leaked per mount attempt. Leak 1 (umount doesn't free mpol allocated in mount): while true; do mount -t tmpfs -o mpol=interleave,size=100M nodev /mnt umount /mnt done Leak 2 (errors parsing remount options will leak mpol): mount -t tmpfs -o size=100M nodev /mnt while true; do mount -o remount,mpol=interleave,size=x /mnt 2> /dev/null done umount /mnt Leak 3 (multiple mpol per mount leak mpol): while true; do mount -t tmpfs -o mpol=interleave,mpol=interleave,size=100M nodev /mnt umount /mnt done This patch fixes all of the above. I could have broken the patch into three pieces but is seemed easier to review as one.
