[PATCH] binder: Use kmem_cache for binder_thread

[Peikan Tsai <peikantsai@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

The allocated size for each binder_thread is 512 bytes by kzalloc.
Because the size of binder_thread is fixed and it's only 304 bytes.
It will save 208 bytes per binder_thread when use create a kmem_cache
for the binder_thread.
