Hold on to the pages allocated and mapped for transaction
buffers until the system is under memory pressure. When
that happens, use linux shrinker to free pages. Without
using shrinker, patch "android: binder: Move buffer out
of area shared with user space" will cause a significant
slow down for small transactions that fit into the first
page because free list buffer header used to be inlined
with buffer data.
In addition to prevent the performance regression for
small transactions, this patch improves the performance
for transactions that take up more than one page.
Modify alloc selftest to work with the shrinker change.
Test: Run memory intensive applications (Chrome and Camera)
to trigger shrinker callbacks. Binder frees memory as expected.
Test: Run binderThroughputTest with high memory pressure
option enabled.

Binder driver allocates buffer meta data in a region that is mapped
in user space. These meta data contain pointers in the kernel.
This patch allocates buffer meta data on the kernel heap that is
not mapped in user space, and uses a pointer to refer to the data mapped.

Use helper functions buffer_next and buffer_prev instead
of list_entry to get the next and previous buffers.

Adds protection against malicious user code freeing
the same buffer at the same time which could cause
a crash. Cannot happen under normal use.

Add additional information to determine the cause of binder
failures. Adds the following to failed transaction log and
kernel messages:
return_error : value returned for transaction
return_error_param : errno returned by binder allocator
return_error_line : line number where error detected
Also, return BR_DEAD_REPLY if an allocation error indicates
a dead proc (-ESRCH)

Move the binder allocator functionality to its own file
Continuation of splitting the binder allocator from the binder
driver. Split binder_alloc functions from normal binder functions.
Add kernel doc comments to functions declared extern in
binder_alloc.h
