The task->il_next variable stores the next allocation node id for task's
MPOL_INTERLEAVE policy. mpol_rebind_nodemask() updates interleave and
bind mempolicies due to changing cpuset mems. Currently it also tries to
make sure that current->il_next is valid within the updated nodemask. This is
bogus, because 1) we are updating potentially any task's mempolicy, not just
current, and 2) we might be updating a per-vma mempolicy, not task one.
