Ok. mbind is not really supposed to allocate much memory, but it still
does allocate some, to record the policy

and I'm afraid that calling set_area_membind for each page might be too
dense: the kernel is probably allocating a memory policy record for each
page, not being able to merge adjacent equal policies.
You could check in /proc/meminfo which number goes high, it's probably
in-kernel data, such as the Slab.
