Shouldn't this be mpol_needs_cond_ref?

This is not a useful comment. It would be much more helpful to say when
this should be called.

This should return false, right?

Again, this is pretty much clear from the name. It would be more useful
to explain how the pointer can be used - e.g. needs to call mpol_put
or mpol_kill depending on the calling context.

Shouldn't be !mpol_tryget?

I do not see any rcu_assign_pointer for the newly created policy so this
seems incomplete. Ditto no mpol_kill calls. I am unlikely to get into
follow up patches now. Please split up the work so that it is reviewable
more easily and then I can have a further look.

Thanks!
