binder: Add support for file-descriptor arrays

Browse Source 
This patch introduces a new binder_fd_array object,
that allows us to support one or more file descriptors
embedded in a buffer that is scatter-gathered.

* A binder_fd_array object represents an array of file
* descriptors embedded in a binder_buffer_object. It is
* different from a regular binder_buffer_object because it
* describes a list of file descriptors to fix up, not an opaque
* blob of memory, and hence the kernel needs to treat it differently.
*
* An example of how this would be used is with Android's
* native_handle_t object, which is a struct with a list of integers
* and a list of file descriptors. The native_handle_t struct itself
* will be represented by a struct binder_buffer_objct, whereas the
* embedded list of file descriptors is represented by a
* struct binder_fd_array_object with that binder_buffer_object as
* a parent.
