the parent process reaped the child or it died itself.

Opening the binder driver and sharing the file returned with
other processes (e.g. by calling fork) can crash the kernel.
Prevent these crashes with the following changes:
- Add a mutex to protect against two processes mmapping the
same binder_proc.
- After locking mmap_sem, check that the vma we want to access
(still) points to the same mm_struct.
- Use proc->tsk instead of current to get the files struct since
this is where we get the rlimit from.

The anonymous shared memory (ashmem) subsystem provides a
Unix-y,file-based shared memory interface to user-space. It
works like anonymous memory (e.g. mmapping fd=0) except if
you share the file descriptor via the usual means, you will
share the mapping. The shared memory can be accessed via both
mmap or file I/O. The backing store is a simple shmem file.
Additionally, ashmem introduces the concept of page pinning.
Pinned pages (the default) behave like any anonymous memory.
Unpinned pages are available to the kernel for eviction during
VM pressure. When repinning the pages, the return value
instructs user-space as to any eviction. In this manner,
user-space processes may implement caching and similar
resource management that efficiently integrates with kernel
memory management.

ashmem: Don't install fault handler for private mmaps.
Ashmem is used to create named private heaps. If this heap is backed
by a tmpfs file it will allocate two pages for every page touched.
In 2.6.27, the extra page would later be freed, but 2.6.29 does not
scan anonymous pages when running without swap so the memory is not
freed while the file is referenced. This change changes the behavior
of private ashmem mmaps to match /dev/zero instead tmpfs.

binder_deferred_release was not unmapping the page from the buffer
before freeing it, causing memory corruption. This only happened
when page(s) had not been freed by binder_update_page_range, which
properly unmaps the pages.
This only happens on architectures with VIPT aliasing.
To reproduce, create a program which opens, mmaps, munmaps, then closes
the binder very quickly. This should leave a page allocated when the
binder is released. When binder_deferrred_release is called on the
close, the page will remain mapped to the address in the linear
proc->buffer. Later, we may map the same physical page to a different
virtual address that has different coloring, and this may cause
aliasing to occur.
PAGE_POISONING will greatly increase your chances of noticing any
problems.

This patch optimizes lowmemkiller to not do any work when it has an outstanding
kill-request. This greatly reduces the pressure on the task_list lock
(improving interactivity), as well as improving the vmscan performance
when under heavy memory pressure (by up to 20x in tests).
Note: For this enhancement to work, you need CONFIG_PROFILING

Under certain circumstances, a process can take awhile to
handle a sig-kill (especially if it's in a scheduler group with
a very low share ratio). When this occurs, lowmemkiller returns
to vmscan indicating the process memory has been freed - even
though the process is still waiting to die. Since the memory
hasn't actually freed, lowmemkiller is called again shortly after,
and picks the same process to die; regardless of the fact that
it has already been 'scheduled' to die and the memory has already
been reported to vmscan as having been freed.
Solution is to check fatal_signal_pending() on the selected
task, and if it's already pending destruction return; indicating
to vmscan that no resources were freed on this pass.
