staging: android: binder: move to the "real" part of the kernel The Android binder code has been "stable" for many years now. No matter what comes in the future, we are going to have to support this API, so might as well move it to the "real" part of the kernel as there's no real work that needs to be done to the existing code.

binder: Support multiple /dev instances Add a new module parameter 'devices', that can be used to specify the names of the binder device nodes we want to populate in /dev. Each device node has its own context manager, and is therefore logically separated from all the other device nodes. The config option CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDER_DEVICES can be used to set the default value of the parameter. This approach was favored over using IPC namespaces, mostly because we require a single process to be a part of multiple binder contexts, which seemed harder to achieve with namespaces.
