Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Revert "binder_alloc: add missing mmap_lock calls when
 using the VMA"

This reverts commit 44e602b4e52f70f04620bbbf4fe46ecb40170bde.

This caused a performance regression particularly when pages are getting
reclaimed. We don't need to acquire the mmap_lock to determine when the
binder buffer has been fully initialized. A subsequent patch will bring
back the lockless approach for this.

[cmllamas: resolved trivial conflicts with renaming of alloc->mm]
