Ackerley Tng 66a4e9e11e mm: hugetlb: move mpol interpretation out of alloc_buddy_hugetlb_folio_with_mpol()
Move memory policy interpretation out of
alloc_buddy_hugetlb_folio_with_mpol() and into alloc_hugetlb_folio() to
separate reading and interpretation of memory policy from actual
allocation.

This will later allow memory policy to be interpreted outside of the
process of allocating a hugetlb folio entirely.  This opens doors for
other callers of the HugeTLB folio allocation function, such as
guest_memfd, where memory may not always be mapped and hence may not have
an associated vma.

Introduce struct mempolicy_interpreted to hold all the components of an
interpreted memory policy.

Rename alloc_buddy_hugetlb_folio_with_mpol() to
alloc_buddy_hugetlb_folio() since the function no longer interprets memory
policy.

No functional change intended.
