I have a few methods below that the binder driver will need on the 
condvar. I'll let it be up to you whether you wish to include them in 
this patch. Otherwise, we will add them when we start upstreaming binder.

The binder driver will need a `wait_timeout` method.

Android binder will also need a `notify_sync` method. It could be 
implemented like this:

/// Calls the kernel function to notify one thread synchronously.
pub fn notify_sync(&self) {
     // SAFETY: `wait_list` points to valid memory.
     unsafe { bindings::__wake_up_sync(self.wait_list.get(), 
bindings::TASK_NORMAL) };
}
