Martijn Coenen ac4812c5ff binder: Support multiple /dev instances
Add a new module parameter 'devices', that can be
used to specify the names of the binder device
nodes we want to populate in /dev.

Each device node has its own context manager, and
is therefore logically separated from all the other
device nodes.

The config option CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDER_DEVICES can
be used to set the default value of the parameter.

This approach was favored over using IPC namespaces,
mostly because we require a single process to be a
part of multiple binder contexts, which seemed harder
to achieve with namespaces.
