[PATCH v2 3/4] binder: Add flags to relinquish ownership of fds

This patch introduces flag BINDER_FD_FLAG_XFER_CHARGE that a process
sending an individual fd or fd array to another process over binder IPC
can set to relinquish ownership of the fd(s) being sent for memory
accounting purposes. If the flag is found to be set during the fd or fd
array translation and the fd is for a DMA-BUF, the buffer is uncharged
from the sender's cgroup and charged to the receiving process's cgroup
instead.

It is up to the sending process to ensure that it closes the fds
regardless of whether the transfer failed or succeeded.

Most graphics shared memory allocations in Android are done by the
graphics allocator HAL process. On requests from clients, the HAL
process allocates memory and sends the fds to the clients over binder
IPC. The graphics allocator HAL will not retain any references to the
buffers. When the HAL sets BINDER_FD_FLAG_XFER_CHARGE, binder will
transfer the charge for the buffer from the allocator process cgroup to
the client process cgroup.

The pad [1] and pad_flags [2] fields of binder_fd_object and
binder_fda_array_object come from alignment with flat_binder_object and
have never been exposed for use from userspace. This new flags use
follows the pattern set by binder_buffer_object.
