[PATCH 1/3] binder: Fix race between mmap() and binder_alloc_print_pages()

binder_alloc_print_pages() iterates over
alloc->pages[0..alloc->buffer_size-1] under alloc->mutex.
binder_alloc_mmap_handler() writes alloc->pages and alloc->buffer_size
without holding that lock, and even writes them before the last bailout
point.

Unfortunately we can't take the alloc->mutex in the ->mmap() handler
because mmap_sem can be taken while alloc->mutex is held.
So instead, we have to locklessly check whether the binder_alloc has been
fully initialized with binder_alloc_get_vma(), like in
binder_alloc_new_buf_locked().

Fixes: 8ef4665aa129 ("android: binder: Add page usage in binder stats")
