Subject: binder: Use wake up hint for synchronous transactions.

From: Riley Andrews <riandrews@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 00b40d613352c623aaae88a44e5ded7c912909d7 upstream.

Use wake_up_interruptible_sync() to hint to the scheduler binder
transactions are synchronous wakeups. Disable preemption while waking
to avoid ping-ponging on the binder lock.
