[PATCH v3 2/6] ANDROID: binder: add min sched_policy to node.

[Martijn Coenen]

This change adds flags to flat_binder_object.flags
to allow indicating a minimum scheduling policy for
the node. It also clarifies the valid value range
for the priority bits in the flags.

Internally, we use the priority map that the kernel
uses, e.g. [0..99] for real-time policies and [100..139]
for the SCHED_NORMAL/SCHED_BATCH policies.
