[Devel] [PATCH hci-8.1 v2 3/4] shmem: reject the mpol= mount option in VE

A CT is meant to see a kernel without NUMA support, so the NUMA API
syscalls return -ENOSYS in a non-super VE. The tmpfs mpol= mount option
still lets a CT set a NUMA memory policy for all files of a tmpfs
mount.

Reject mpol= in a non-super VE the way a kernel built without
CONFIG_NUMA does: the mount fails with -EINVAL and "Unsupported
parameter 'mpol'".
