mempolicy: clean-up mpol-to-str() mempolicy formatting

mpol-to-str() formats memory policies into printable strings.  Currently this
is only used to display "numa_maps".  A subsequent patch will use
mpol_to_str() for formatting tmpfs [shmem] mpol mount options, allowing us to
remove essentially duplicate code in mm/shmem.c.  This patch cleans up
mpol_to_str() generally and in preparation for that patch.

1) show_numa_maps() is not checking the return code from mpol_to_str().
   There's not a lot we can do in this context if mpol_to_str() did return the
   error [insufficient space in buffer].  Proposed "solution": just check,
   under DEBUG_VM, that callers are providing sufficient buffer space for the
   policy, flags, and a few nodes.  This way, we'll get some display.
   show_numa_maps() is providing a 50-byte buffer, so it won't trip this
   check.  50-bytes should be sufficient unless one has a large number of
   nodes in a very sparse nodemask.

2) The display of the new mode flags ["static" & "relative"] was set up to
   display multiple flags, separated by a "bar" '|'.  However, this support is
   incomplete--e.g., need_bar was never incremented; and currently, these two
   flags are mutually exclusive.  So remove the "bar" support, for now, and
   only display one flag.

3) Use snprint() to format flags, so as not to overflow the buffer.  Not
   that it's ever happed, AFAIK.
