In commit 48fce3429d ("mempolicies: unexport get_vma_policy()")
get_vma_policy() was marked static as all clients were local to
mempolicy.c.

However, the decision to generate /proc/pid/numa_maps in the numa memory
policy code and outside the procfs subsystem introduces an artificial
interdependency between the two systems.  Exporting get_vma_policy() once
again is the first step to clean up this interdependency.
