VM_IOREMAP is used to access hardware through a mechanism called
I/O mapped memory. Android binder is a IPC machanism which will
not access I/O memory.

Also VM_IOREMAP has alignment requiement which may not needed in
binder.
----
__get_vm_area_node()
{
...
    if (flags & VM_IOREMAP)
        align = 1ul << clamp_t(int, fls_long(size),
           PAGE_SHIFT, IOREMAP_MAX_ORDER);
...
}

This patch use VM_ALLOC to get vm area.
