kernfs: drop shared NUMA mempolicy hooks
It seems strange that kernfs should be an outlier with a set_policy and get_policy in its kernfs_vm_ops. Ah, it dates back to v2.6.30's commit 095160a ("sysfs: fix some bin_vm_ops errors"), when I had crashed on powerpc's pci_mmap_legacy_page_range() fallback to shmem_zero_setup(). Well, that was commendably thorough, to give sysfs-bin a set_policy and get_policy, just to avoid the way it was coded resulting in EINVAL from mmap when CONFIG_NUMA; but somehow feels a bit over-the-top to me now. It's easier to say that nobody should expect to manage a shmem object's shared NUMA mempolicy via some kernfs backdoor to that object: delete that code (and there's no longer an EINVAL from mmap in the NUMA case). This then leaves set_policy/get_policy as implemented only by shmem - though importantly also by SysV SHM, which has to interface with shmem which implements them, and with SHM_HUGETLB which does not.
