    mm/mempolicy: fix uninit-value in mpol_rebind_policy()

    mpol_set_nodemask()(mm/mempolicy.c) does not set up nodemask when
    pol->mode is MPOL_LOCAL.  Check pol->mode before access
    pol->w.cpuset_mems_allowed in mpol_rebind_policy()(mm/mempolicy.c).

    KMSAN: uninit-value in mpol_rebind_task (2)
    https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=d6eb90f952c2a5de9ea718a1b873c55cb13b59dc

    This patch seems to fix below bug too.
    KMSAN: uninit-value in mpol_rebind_mm (2)
    https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=f2fecd0d7013f54ec4162f60743a2b28df40926b

    The uninit-value is pol->w.cpuset_mems_allowed in mpol_rebind_policy().
    When syzkaller reproducer runs to the beginning of mpol_new(),

                mpol_new() mm/mempolicy.c
              do_mbind() mm/mempolicy.c
            kernel_mbind() mm/mempolicy.c

    `mode` is 1(MPOL_PREFERRED), nodes_empty(*nodes) is `true` and `flags`
    is 0. Then

            mode = MPOL_LOCAL;
            ...
            policy->mode = mode;
            policy->flags = flags;

    will be executed. So in mpol_set_nodemask(),

                mpol_set_nodemask() mm/mempolicy.c
              do_mbind()
            kernel_mbind()

    pol->mode is 4 (MPOL_LOCAL), that `nodemask` in `pol` is not initialized,
    which will be accessed in mpol_rebind_policy().

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
