[LTP] [PATCH] mbind01: accept MPOL_LOCAL when passing empty set for MPOL_PREFERRED

[Jan Stancek]

When empty set is passed to MPOL_PREFERRED, memory is allocated
on the node of the CPU that triggered the allocation.

After kernel commit:
  7858d7bca7fb ("mm/mempolicy: don't handle MPOL_LOCAL like a fake MPOL_PREFERRED policy")
kernel returns stored policy as MPOL_LOCAL.

Per mhocko@suse.com in https://lists.linux.it/pipermail/ltp/2021-June/023037.html
  Strictly speaking this is breaking user interface but I am wondering
  whether this really matter or is completely unexpected ... I would
  be inclined to keep this inconsistency and see whether anybody
  actually complains and have a relevant use for this behavior.

Modify the test to accept either MPOL_PREFERRED or MPOL_LOCAL.
