Subject: mm/mempolicy: fix a race between offset_il_node and mpol_rebind_task

Servers happened below panic:
Kernel version:5.4.56

The reason for the panic is that MAX_NUMNODES is passed in the third
parameter in __alloc_pages_nodemask(preferred_nid).  So access to
zonelist->zoneref->zone_idx in __next_zones_zonelist will cause a panic.

In offset_il_node(), first_node() returns nid from pol->v.nodes, after
this other threads may chang pol->v.nodes before next_node().  This race
condition will let next_node return MAX_NUMNODES.  So put pol->nodes in a
local variable.

The race condition is between offset_il_node and cpuset_change_task_nodemask:
CPU0:                                     CPU1:
alloc_pages_vma()
  interleave_nid(pol,)
    offset_il_node(pol,)
      first_node(pol->v.nodes)            cpuset_change_task_nodemask
                      //nodes==0xc          mpol_rebind_task
                                              mpol_rebind_policy
                                                mpol_rebind_nodemask(pol,nodes)
                      //nodes==0x3
      next_node(nid, pol->v.nodes)//return MAX_NUMNODES
