slab/mempolicy: always use local policy from interrupt context

slab_node() could access current->mempolicy from interrupt context.
However there's a race condition during exit where the mempolicy
is first freed and then the pointer zeroed.

Using this from interrupts seems bogus anyways. The interrupt
will interrupt a random process and therefore get a random
mempolicy. Many times, this will be idle's, which noone can change.

Just disable this here and always use local for slab
from interrupts. I also cleaned up the callers of slab_node a bit
which always passed the same argument.

I believe the original mempolicy code did that in fact,
so it's likely a regression.

v2: send version with correct logic
v3: simplify. fix typo.
