This patch introduces a buffer flag BINDER_BUFFER_FLAG_SENDER_NO_NEED
that a process sending an fd array to another process over binder IPC
can set to relinquish ownership of the fds being sent for memory
accounting purposes. If the flag is found to be set during the 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 the BINDER_BUFFER_FLAG_SENDER_NO_NEED for fd
arrays holding DMA-BUF fds, the gpu cgroup controller will be able to
correctly charge the buffers to the client processes instead of the
graphics allocator HAL.

Since this is a new feature exposed to userspace, the kernel and userspace
must be compatible for the accounting to work for transfers. In all cases
the allocation and transport of DMA buffers via binder will succeed, but
only when both the kernel supports, and userspace depends on this feature
will the transfer accounting work. The possible scenarios are detailed
below:

1. new kernel + old userspace
The kernel supports the feature but userspace does not use it. The old
userspace won't mount the new cgroup controller, accounting is not
performed, charge is not transferred.

2. old kernel + new userspace
The new cgroup controller is not supported by the kernel, accounting is
not performed, charge is not transferred.

3. old kernel + old userspace
Same as #2

4. new kernel + new userspace
Cgroup is mounted, feature is supported and used.
