Although these flags are put in uapi, I found these flags are actually
internal flags used in "flags" field of struct mempolicy, they are never
used as flags for any user space API. I guess they are placed in uapi
header file to guarantee they aren't conflict with MPOL_MODE_FLAGS.

Based on above analysis, I think there is no application that will be
affected.

That is the only reason for the patch. If nobody thinks the change is
necessary, I can just drop the patch.
