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.
