Subject: [PATCH 0/2] binderfs: fixes

Hey,

This small series deals with two fix/improvements for binderfs. And both
actually allows us to remove code. *Yay!*

The first patch removes an unneeded and conceptually wrong kern_mount()
call for binderfs. I think this even might have been pointed out at some
point by Greg. I'm not sure right now.

The second patch makes each mount of binderfs - similar to kdbusfs - a
new instance. This mainly allows users to get private binderfs instances
in the same ipc namespace which has been requested recently and makes
the whole implementation more intuitive and simple for various reaons.

More details can be found in the commit message for each patch.

Thanks!
Christian
