[PATCH] Undo mempolicy shared policy rbtree microoptimization

All mempolicy changes must be inside the spinlock and readding the rb_erase
prevents a crash while doing:

> echo "1" > /tmp/numatest
> numactl --length=0x4000 --shm /tmp/numatest --localalloc
> numactl --length=0x2000 --offset=0 --shm /tmp/numatest --membind=0
> numactl --length=0x2000 --offset=0x2000 --shm /tmp/numatest --membind=1
> ipcs
> ipcrm -M "the_key_value_of_this_shm_area"
