mempolicy: rework shmem mpol parsing and display

mm/shmem.c currently contains functions to parse and display memory policy
strings for the tmpfs 'mpol' mount option.  Move this to mm/mempolicy.c with
the rest of the mempolicy support.  With subsequent patches, we'll be able to
remove knowledge of the details [mode, flags, policy, ...] completely from
shmem.c

1) replace shmem_parse_mpol() in mm/shmem.c with mpol_parse_str() in
   mm/mempolicy.c.  Rework to use the policy_types[] array [used by
   mpol_to_str()] to look up mode by name.

2) use mpol_to_str() to format policy for shmem_show_mpol().  mpol_to_str()
   expects a pointer to a struct mempolicy, so temporarily construct one.
   This will be replaced with a reference to a struct mempolicy in the tmpfs
   superblock in a subsequent patch.

   NOTE 1: I changed mpol_to_str() to use a colon ':' rather than an equal
   sign '=' as the nodemask delimiter to match mpol_parse_str() and the
   tmpfs/shmem mpol mount option formatting that now uses mpol_to_str().  This
   is a user visible change to numa_maps, but then the addition of the mode
   flags already changed the display.  It makes sense to me to have the mounts
   and numa_maps display the policy in the same format.  However, if anyone
   objects strongly, I can pass the desired nodemask delimeter as an arg to
   mpol_to_str().

   Note 2: Like show_numa_map(), I don't check the return code from
   mpol_to_str().  I do use a longer buffer than the one provided by
   show_numa_map(), which seems to have sufficed so far.
