binder: introduce locking helper functions
There are 3 main spinlocks which must be acquired in this
order:
1) proc->outer_lock : protects most fields of binder_proc,
binder_thread, and binder_ref structures. binder_proc_lock()
and binder_proc_unlock() are used to acq/rel.
2) node->lock : protects most fields of binder_node.
binder_node_lock() and binder_node_unlock() are
used to acq/rel
3) proc->inner_lock : protects the thread and node lists
(proc->threads, proc->nodes) and all todo lists associated
with the binder_proc (proc->todo, thread->todo,
proc->delivered_death and node->async_todo).
binder_inner_proc_lock() and binder_inner_proc_unlock()
are used to acq/rel
Any lock under procA must never be nested under any lock at the same
level or below on procB.
Functions that require a lock held on entry indicate which lock
in the suffix of the function name:
foo_olocked() : requires node->outer_lock
foo_nlocked() : requires node->lock
foo_ilocked() : requires proc->inner_lock
foo_iolocked(): requires proc->outer_lock and proc->inner_lock
foo_nilocked(): requires node->lock and proc->inner_lock
