Add security hooks to the binder and implement the hooks for SELinux.
The security hooks enable security modules such as SELinux to implement
controls over binder IPC. The security hooks include support for
controlling what process can become the binder context manager
(binder_set_context_mgr), controlling the ability of a process
to invoke a binder transaction/IPC to another process (binder_transaction),
controlling the ability a process to transfer a binder reference to
another process (binder_transfer_binder), and controlling the ability
of a process to transfer an open file to another process (binder_transfer_file).
This support is used by SE Android, http://selinuxproject.org/page/SEAndroid.

Surfaceflinger uses binder heavily to receive/send frames from applications
while compositing the screen. Change the binder mutex to an rt mutex to minimize
instances where high priority surfaceflinger binder work is blocked by lower
priority binder ipc.

Make sure offsets don't point to overlapping flat_binder_object
structs.

binder.h isn't needed to just include a uapi file and set a single
define, so move it into binder.c to save a few lines of code.

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.
