mm/mempolicy.c: make copy_from_user() provably correct
When compiling mm/mempolicy.c with struct user copy checks the following
warning is shown:
In file included from arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h:572,
from include/linux/uaccess.h:5,
from include/linux/highmem.h:7,
from include/linux/pagemap.h:10,
from include/linux/mempolicy.h:70,
from mm/mempolicy.c:68:
In function `copy_from_user',
inlined from `compat_sys_get_mempolicy' at mm/mempolicy.c:1415:
arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess_64.h:64: warning: call to `copy_from_user_overflow' declared with attribute warning: copy_from_user() buffer size is not provably correct
LD mm/built-in.o
Fix this by passing correct buffer size value.
