The existing binder tracepoint may not be precise enough because there
is no proper tracepoint which can represent the real finished time of
transaction.
The reason why we don't put the code outside binder.c is that structure
of binder_transaction didn't put in header file.
If it could be moved to binder_internal.h, then we can add
"binder-latency tracer" as you mentioned earlier.
