Currently the kernel_mbind() and kernel_set_mempolicy() do almost
the same operation for parameter sanity check and preprocessing.

Add a macro to unify the code to reduce the redundancy, and make
it easier for changing the pre-processing code in future.

This should be extracted to helper function returning bool, not a macro.
Yes, initially I did try it with an inline function, but as a function
it has quite several input parameters and several output parameters, 
which made the code still big and ugly.

But if community think it's the right direction to go, I can change it.
Following is a patch to unify the preprocssing by using a helper function,
please review, thanks
