Move memory policy interpretation out of dequeue_hugetlb_folio_vma() and into alloc_hugetlb_folio() to separate reading and interpretation of memory policy from actual allocation. Also rename dequeue_hugetlb_folio_vma() to dequeue_hugetlb_folio_with_mpol() to remove association with vma and to align with alloc_buddy_hugetlb_folio_with_mpol(). This will later allow memory policy to be interpreted outside of the process of allocating a hugetlb folio entirely. This opens doors for other callers of the HugeTLB folio allocation function, such as guest_memfd, where memory may not always be mapped and hence may not have an associated vma. No functional change intended.
