2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro(a)jp.fujitsu.com>

commit 926f2ae04f183098cf9a30521776fb2759c8afeb upstream.

mpol_parse_str() made lots 'err' variable related bug. Because it is ugly
and reviewing unfriendly.

This patch simplifies it.
