Subject: [PATCH 4.9 69/84] binder: Use wake up hint for synchronous transactions.

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Riley Andrews <riandrews@...gle.com>

commit 00b40d613352c623aaae88a44e5ded7c912909d7 upstream.

Use wake_up_interruptible_sync() to hint to the scheduler binder
transactions are synchronous wakeups. Disable preemption while waking
to avoid ping-ponging on the binder lock.
