binder: add lockless binder_alloc_(set|get)_vma()

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2028979

commit 0fa5334 upstream.

Bring back the original lockless design in binder_alloc to determine
whether the buffer setup has been completed by the ->mmap() handler.
However, this time use smp_load_acquire() and smp_store_release() to
wrap all the ordering in a single macro call.

Also, add comments to make it evident that binder uses alloc->vma to
determine when the binder_alloc has been fully initialized. In these
scenarios acquiring the mmap_lock is not required.
