Hugh Dickins 2cafb58217 mempolicy: remove confusing MPOL_MF_LAZY dead code
v3.8 commit b24f53a0be ("mm: mempolicy: Add MPOL_MF_LAZY") introduced
MPOL_MF_LAZY, and included it in the MPOL_MF_VALID flags; but a720094ded
("mm: mempolicy: Hide MPOL_NOOP and MPOL_MF_LAZY from userspace for now")
immediately removed it from MPOL_MF_VALID flags, pending further review. 
"This will need to be revisited", but it has not been reinstated.

The present state is confusing: there is dead code in mm/mempolicy.c to
handle MPOL_MF_LAZY cases which can never occur.  Remove that: it can be
resurrected later if necessary.  But keep the definition of MPOL_MF_LAZY,
which must remain in the UAPI, even though it always fails with EINVAL.
