This is a rebase with some small changes to Kosaki's "mempolicy memory corruption fixlet" series. I had expected that Kosaki would have revised the series by now but it's been waiting a long time.
Changelog since V1 o Rebase to 3.6-rc2 o Editted some of the changelogs o Converted sp->lock to sp->mutex to close a race in shared_policy_replace() o Reworked the refcount imbalance fix slightly o Do not call mpol_put in shmem_alloc_page.
I tested this with trinity with CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB enabled and it passed. I did not test LTP such as Josh reported a problem with or with a database that used shared policies like Andi tested. The series is almost all Kosaki's work of course. If he has a revised series that simply got delayed in posting it should take precedence.
