hold task->mempolicy while numa_maps scans.

  /proc/<pid>/numa_maps scans vma and show mempolicy under
  mmap_sem. It sometimes accesses task->mempolicy which can
  be freed without mmap_sem and numa_maps can show some
  garbage while scanning.

This patch tries to take reference count of task->mempolicy at reading
numa_maps before calling get_vma_policy(). By this, task->mempolicy
will not be freed until numa_maps reaches its end.

V2->v3
  -  updated comments to be more verbose.
  -  removed task_lock() in numa_maps code.
V1->V2
  -  access task->mempolicy only once and remember it.  Becase kernel/exit.c
     can overwrite it.
