binder: reduce mmap_sem write-side lock
binder has used write-side mmap_sem semaphore to release memory mapped at address space of the process. However, right lock to release pages is down_read, not down_write because page table lock already protects the race for parallel freeing. Please do not use mmap_sem write-side lock which is well known contented lock.
