slab/mempolicy: always use local policy from interrupt context
slab_node() could access current->mempolicy from interrupt context. However there's a race condition during exit where the mempolicy is first freed and then the pointer zeroed. Using this from interrupts seems bogus anyways. The interrupt will interrupt a random process and therefore get a random mempolicy. Many times, this will be idle's, which noone can change. Just disable this here and always use local for slab from interrupts. I also cleaned up the callers of slab_node a bit which always passed the same argument. I believe the original mempolicy code did that in fact, so it's likely a regression. v2: send version with correct logic v3: simplify. fix typo.
