mm/mempolicy: fix use after free when calling get_mempolicy
I hit a use after free issue when executing trinity and repoduced it with KASAN enabled. The related call trace is as follows. BUG: KASan: use after free in SyS_get_mempolicy+0x3c8/0x960 at addr ffff8801f582d766 Read of size 2 by task syz-executor1/798 INFO: Allocated in mpol_new.part.2+0x74/0x160 age=3 cpu=1 pid=799 __slab_alloc+0x768/0x970 kmem_cache_alloc+0x2e7/0x450 mpol_new.part.2+0x74/0x160 mpol_new+0x66/0x80 SyS_mbind+0x267/0x9f0 system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b INFO: Freed in __mpol_put+0x2b/0x40 age=4 cpu=1 pid=799 __slab_free+0x495/0x8e0 kmem_cache_free+0x2f3/0x4c0 __mpol_put+0x2b/0x40 SyS_mbind+0x383/0x9f0 system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b INFO: Slab 0xffffea0009cb8dc0 objects=23 used=8 fp=0xffff8801f582de40 flags=0x200000000004080 INFO: Object 0xffff8801f582d760 @offset=5984 fp=0xffff8801f582d600 Bytes b4 ffff8801f582d750: ae 01 ff ff 00 00 00 00 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a 5a ........ZZZZZZZZ Object ffff8801f582d760: 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk Object ffff8801f582d770: 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b a5 kkkkkkk.

Early premature up_read is a historical artifact from times when put_user was called in this path see https://lwn.net/Articles/124754/ but that is gone since 8bccd85ffbaf ("[PATCH] Implement sys_* do_* layering in the memory policy layer."). but when we have the the current mempolicy ref count model. The issue was introduced accordingly. Fix the issue by removing the premature release.
