mm/mempolicy.c: avoid use uninitialized preferred_node

Alexander reported a use of uninitialized memory in __mpol_equal(),
which is caused by incorrect use of preferred_node.

When mempolicy in mode MPOL_PREFERRED with flags MPOL_F_LOCAL, it uses
numa_node_id() instead of preferred_node, however, __mpol_equal() uses
preferred_node without checking whether it is MPOL_F_LOCAL or not.
