Subject: Revert "binder_alloc: add missing mmap_lock calls when using the VMA"

From: Carlos Llamas <cmllamas@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit b15655b12ddca7ade09807f790bafb6fab61b50a upstream.

This reverts commit 44e602b4e52f70f04620bbbf4fe46ecb40170bde.

This caused a performance regression particularly when pages are getting
reclaimed. We don't need to acquire the mmap_lock to determine when the
binder buffer has been fully initialized. A subsequent patch will bring
back the lockless approach for this.
