mm/hugetlb: add mempolicy check in the reservation routine


In the reservation routine, we only check whether the cpuset meets the
memory allocation requirements.  But we ignore the mempolicy of MPOL_BIND
case.  If someone mmap hugetlb succeeds, but the subsequent memory
allocation may fail due to mempolicy restrictions and receives the SIGBUS
signal.  This can be reproduced by the follow steps.

 1) Compile the test case.
    cd tools/testing/selftests/vm/
    gcc map_hugetlb.c -o map_hugetlb

 2) Pre-allocate huge pages. Suppose there are 2 numa nodes in the
    system. Each node will pre-allocate one huge page.
    echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages

 3) Run test case(mmap 4MB). We receive the SIGBUS signal.
    numactl --membind=3D0 ./map_hugetlb 4

With this patch applied, the mmap will fail in the step 3) and throw
"mmap: Cannot allocate memory".
