MPOL_F_STATIC_NODES, MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES, and MPOL_F_NUMA_BALANCING are
mode flags applicable to both set_mempolicy(2) and mbind(2) system calls.
It's worth noting that MPOL_F_NUMA_BALANCING was initially introduced in
commit bda420b98505 ("numa balancing: migrate on fault among multiple bound
nodes") exclusively for set_mempolicy(2). However, it was later made a
shared flag for both set_mempolicy(2) and mbind(2) following
commit 6d2aec9e123b ("mm/mempolicy: do not allow illegal
MPOL_F_NUMA_BALANCING | MPOL_LOCAL in mbind()").

This revised version aims to clarify the details regarding the mode flags.
