The most common cause of the binder transaction buffer filling up is a
client rapidly firing oneway transactions into a process, before it has
a chance to handle them. Yet the root cause of this is often hard to
debug, because either the system or the app will stop, and by that time
binder debug information we dump in bugreports is no longer relevant.
This change warns as soon as a process dips below 80% of its oneway
space (less than 100kB available in the configuration), when any one
process is responsible for either more than 50 transactions, or more
than 50% of the oneway space.
