Mem Policy: add MPOL_F_MEMS_ALLOWED get_mempolicy() flag
Allow an application to query the memories allowed by its context.
Updated numa_memory_policy.txt to mention that applications can use this to
obtain allowed memories for constructing valid policies.
TODO: update out-of-tree libnuma wrapper[s], or maybe add a new
wrapper--e.g., numa_get_mems_allowed() ?
Also, update numa syscall man pages.
Tested with memtoy V>=0.13.
