mm, mempolicy: task->mempolicy must be NULL before dropping final reference
KASAN allocates memory from the page allocator as part of
kmem_cache_free(), and that can reference current->mempolicy through any
number of allocation functions. It needs to be NULL'd out before the
final reference is dropped to prevent a use-after-free bug:
BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in alloc_pages_current+0x363/0x370 at addr ffff88010b48102c
CPU: 0 PID: 15425 Comm: trinity-c2 Not tainted 4.8.0-rc2+ #140
...
Call Trace:

alloc_pages_current <-- use after free

This patch sets current->mempolicy to NULL before dropping the final
reference.
