I've been dissatisfied with the mpol_nodelist mount option which was
added to tmpfs earlier in -rc. Replace it by mpol=policy:nodelist.
And it was broken: a nodelist is a comma-separated list of numbers and
ranges; the mount options are a comma-separated list of token=values.
Whoops, blindly strsep'ing on commas doesn't work so well: since we've
no numeric tokens, and unlikely to add them, use that to distinguish.
Move the mpol= parsing to shmem_parse_mpol under CONFIG_NUMA, reject
all its options as invalid if not NUMA. /proc shows MPOL_PREFERRED
as "prefer", so use that name for the policy instead of "preferred".
Enforce that mpol=default has no nodelist; that mpol=prefer has one
node only; that mpol=bind has a nodelist; but let mpol=interleave use
node_online_map if no nodelist given. Describe this in tmpfs.txt.
