mempolicy: mask off internal flags for userspace API

Flags considered internal to the mempolicy kernel code are stored as part
of the "flags" member of struct mempolicy.

Before exposing a policy type to userspace via get_mempolicy(), these
internal flags must be masked.  Flags exposed to userspace, however,
should still be returned to the user.
