hostmem: set MPOL_MF_MOVE
When memory is allocated on a wrong node, MPOL_MF_STRICT
doesn't move it - it just fails the allocation.
A simple way to reproduce the failure is with mlock=on
realtime feature.
The code comment actually says: "ensure policy won't be ignored"
so setting MPOL_MF_MOVE seems like a better way to do this.
