Martijn Coenen 1190b4e38f ANDROID: binder: remove 32-bit binder interface.
New devices launching with Android P need to use the 64-bit
binder interface, even on 32-bit SoCs [0].

This change removes the Kconfig option to select the 32-bit
binder interface. We don't think this will affect existing
userspace for the following reasons:
1) The latest Android common tree is 4.14, so we don't
   believe any Android devices are on kernels >4.14.
2) Android devices launch on an LTS release and stick with
   it, so we wouldn't expect devices running on <= 4.14 now
   to upgrade to 4.17 or later. But even if they did, they'd
   rebuild the world (kernel + userspace) anyway.
3) Other userspaces like 'anbox' are already using the
   64-bit interface.

Note that this change doesn't remove the 32-bit UAPI
itself; the reason for that is that Android userspace
always uses the latest UAPI headers from upstream, and
userspace retains 32-bit support for devices that are
upgrading. This will be removed as well in 2-3 years,
at which point we can remove the code from the UAPI
as well.

Finally, this change introduces build errors on archs where
64-bit get_user/put_user is not supported, so make binder
unavailable on m68k (which wouldn't want it anyway).

Binder is used in Android for both communication between processes,
and remote method invocation.
This means one Android process can call a method/routine in another
Android process, using Binder to identify, invoke and pass arguments
between said processes.

Default value for the binder.devices parameter.
The binder.devices parameter is a comma-separated list of strings
that specifies the names of the binder device nodes that will be
created. Each binder device has its own context manager, and is
therefore logically separated from the other devices.

This feature allows binder selftest to run.
Binder selftest checks the allocation and free of binder buffers
exhaustively with combinations of various buffer sizes and
