Subject: binder: add lockless binder_alloc_(set|get)_vma()
From: Carlos Llamas <cmllamas@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 0fa53349c3acba0239369ba4cd133740a408d246 upstream.
Bring back the original lockless design in binder_alloc to determine
whether the buffer setup has been completed by the ->mmap() handler.
However, this time use smp_load_acquire() and smp_store_release() to
wrap all the ordering in a single macro call.
Also, add comments to make it evident that binder uses alloc->vma to
determine when the binder_alloc has been fully initialized. In these
scenarios acquiring the mmap_lock is not required.
