[PATCH] mbind: restrict nodes to the currently allowed cpuset

Currently one can specify an arbitrary node mask to mbind that includes
nodes not allowed.  If that is done with an interleave policy then we will
go around all the nodes.  Those outside of the currently allowed cpuset
will be redirected to the border nodes.  Interleave will then create
imbalances at the borders of the cpuset.

This patch restricts the nodes to the currently allowed cpuset.

The RFC for this patch was discussed at
