mempolicy: remove redundant check

Lee's patch "mempolicy: use MPOL_PREFERRED for system-wide default policy"
has made the MPOL_DEFAULT only used in the memory policy APIs.  So, no
need to check in __mpol_equal also.  Also get rid of mpol_match_intent()
and move its logic directly into __mpol_equal().
