[PATCH] mempolicies: private pointer in check_range and MPOL_MF_INVERT

This was was first posted at

(Part of this functionality is also contained in the direct migration
pathset. The functionality here is more generic and independent of that
patchset.)

- Add internal flags MPOL_MF_INVERT to control check_range() behavior.

- Replace the pagelist passed through by check_range by a general
  private pointer that may be used for other purposes.
  (The following patches will use that to merge numa_maps into
  mempolicy.c and to better group the page migration code in
  the policy layer)

- Improve some comments.
