mm/mempolicy.c: fix out of bounds write in mpol_parse_str()

commit c7a91bc7 upstream.

What we are trying to do is change the '=' character to a NUL terminator
and then at the end of the function we restore it back to an '='.  The
problem is there are two error paths where we jump to the end of the
function before we have replaced the '=' with NUL.

We end up putting the '=' in the wrong place (possibly one element
before the start of the buffer).
