android: binder: use VM_ALLOC to get vm area
VM_IOREMAP is used to access hardware through a mechanism called I/O mapped memory. Android binder is a IPC machanism which will not access I/O memory. And VM_IOREMAP has alignment requiement which may not needed in binder. __get_vm_area_node() { ... if (flags & VM_IOREMAP) align = 1ul << clamp_t(int, fls_long(size), PAGE_SHIFT, IOREMAP_MAX_ORDER); ... } This patch will save some kernel vm area, especially for 32bit os. In 32bit OS, kernel vm area is only 240MB.
