[PATCH RFC v2 4/4] mm/mempolicy: add nodes_empty check in SYSC_migrate_pages

[Yisheng Xie]

As manpage of migrate_pages, the errno should be set to EINVAL when none
of the specified nodes contain memory. However, when new_nodes is null,
i.e. the specified nodes also do not have memory, as the following case:

        new_nodes = 0;
        old_nodes = 0xf;
        ret = migrate_pages(pid, old_nodes, new_nodes, MAX);

The ret will be 0 and no errno is set.

This patch is to add nodes_empty check to fix above case.
