Thank you Greg and Christian, for taking another look. Yes,
non-binderfs binder devices not having this limitation is the reason
why the check was made specific to binderfs devices. Also, when
CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDERFS is set, patch 1/2 disabled the same string
being parsed in binder_init().

I do not have any objections to adding a generic check in binder_init() instead.
