mm: add kernel_mbind() helper; remove in-kernel call to syscall

Using the mm-internal kernel_mbind() helper allows us to get rid of the
mm-internal call to the sys_mbind() syscall.

This patch is part of a series which removes in-kernel calls to syscalls.
On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined. For details, see
