CVE-2021-47462

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/mempolicy: do not allow illegal MPOL_F_NUMA_BALANCING | MPOL_LOCAL in
mbind() syzbot reported access to unitialized memory in mbind() [1] Issue
came with commit bda420b98505 (“numa balancing: migrate on fault among
multiple bound nodes”) This commit added a new bit in MPOL_MODE_FLAGS, but
only checked valid combination (MPOL_F_NUMA_BALANCING can only be used with
MPOL_BIND) in do_set_mempolicy() This patch moves the check in
sanitize_mpol_flags() so that it is also used by mbind() [1] BUG: KMSAN:
