mm/mempolicy: use unified 'nodes' for bind/interleave/prefer policies

Current structure 'mempolicy' uses a union to store the node info for
bind/interleave/perfer policies.

	union {
		short 		 preferred_node; /* preferred */
		nodemask_t	 nodes;		/* interleave/bind */
		/* undefined for default */
	} v;

Since preferred node can also be represented by a nodemask_t with only ont
bit set, unify these policies with using one nodemask_t 'nodes', which can
remove a union, simplify the code and make it easier to support future's
new policy's node info.
