binder: compilability with kernel 5.10

[mikhailnov]

Both kernel modules from the tree of this commit are compilable on kernel 5.10
The kernel has to be build with commit 0bd476e6c6 ("kallsyms: unexport kallsyms_lookup_name() and kallsyms_on_each_symbol()") reverted, because both Anbox modules require kallsyms_lookup_name.

This kernel commit changed API: torvalds/linux@9740ca4e95b43

[mikhailnov]

This patch is incorrect, the kernel modules builds but does not work correctly:

[Сб янв  2 16:39:05 2021] binder_linux: 6162: binder_alloc_buf failed to map page at 0000000035375c15 in kernel
[Сб янв  2 16:39:05 2021] binder_linux: binder_mmap: 6162 f6e82000-f6f80000 alloc small buf failed -12

It is easier to build ashmem and binder from the upstream Linux kernel by porting the following commits from Ubuntu kernel:

so did you manage to get them working?

is this superceded by #76 ?
