[PATCH] Make sure interleave masks have at least one node set

Otherwise a bad mem policy system call can confuse the interleaving
code into referencing undefined nodes.

Originally reported by Doug Chapman

I was told it's CVE-2005-3358
(one has to love these security people - they make everything sound important)
