[PATCH v2 1/9] mm: export get_vma_policy()

[Stephen Wilson]

In commit 48fce3429df84a94766fbbc845fa8450d0715b48 get_vma_policy() was
marked static as all clients were local to mempolicy.c.

However, the decision to generate /proc/pid/numa_maps in the numa memory
policy code and outside the procfs subsystem introduces an artificial
interdependency between the two systems.  Exporting get_vma_policy()
once again is the first step to clean up this interdependency.
