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.
