mm/mempolicy: unify the parameter sanity check for mbind and set_mempolicy

Currently the kernel_mbind() and kernel_set_mempolicy() do almost the same
operation for parameter sanity check.

Add a helper function to unify the code to reduce the redundancy, and make
it easier for changing the sanity check code in future.

[thanks to David Rientjes for suggesting using helper function instead of
macro].
