Now that alloc->buffer points to the userspace vm_area
rename buffer->data to buffer->user_data and rename
local pointers that hold user addresses. Also use the
"__user" tag to annotate all user pointers so sparse
can flag cases where user pointer vaues are copied to
kernel pointers. Refactor code to use offsets instead
of user pointers.

Binder uses internal fs interfaces to allocate and install fds:
__alloc_fd
__fd_install
__close_fd
get_files_struct
put_files_struct
These were used to support the passing of fds between processes
as part of a transaction. The actual allocation and installation
of the fds in the target process was handled by the sending
process so the standard functions, alloc_fd() and fd_install()
which assume task==current couldn't be used.
This patch refactors this mechanism so that the fds are
allocated and installed by the target process allowing the
standard functions to be used.
The sender now creates a list of fd fixups that contains the
struct *file and the address to fixup with the new fd once
it is allocated. This list is processed by the target process
when the transaction is dequeued.
A new error case is introduced by this change. If an async
transaction with file descriptors cannot allocate new
fds in the target (probably due to out of file descriptors),
the transaction is discarded with a log message. In the old
implementation this would have been detected in the sender
context and failed prior to sending.

Once locks are added, binder_ref's will only be accessed
safely with the proc lock held. Refactor the inc/dec paths
to make them atomic with the binder_get_ref* paths and
node inc/dec. For example, instead of:
ref = binder_get_ref(proc, handle, strong);
...
binder_dec_ref(ref, strong);
we now have:
ret = binder_dec_ref_for_handle(proc, handle, strong, &rdata);
Since the actual ref is no longer exposed to callers, a
new struct binder_ref_data is introduced which can be used
to return a copy of ref state.

Continuation of splitting the binder allocator from the binder
driver. Separate binder_alloc functions from normal binder
functions. Protect the allocator with a separate mutex.

The Android binder code has been "stable" for many years now. No matter
what comes in the future, we are going to have to support this API, so
might as well move it to the "real" part of the kernel as there's no
real work that needs to be done to the existing code.
