I actually do not care that much about the numa01.sh tests, because
these are broken in more ways than this and were never correct to begin
with.

I've started to rewrite these into proper tests, the set_mempolicy() was
first part of that effort, the mbind() tests are continuation of that
and the end goal is to get rid of these broken tests eventually.
