Revert "android: binder: stop saving a pointer to the VMA"

This reverts commit a43cfc8.

This patch fixed an issue reported by syzkaller in [1]. However, this
turned out to be only a band-aid in binder. The root cause, as bisected
by syzkaller, was fixed by commit 5789151 ("mm/mmap: undo ->mmap()
when mas_preallocate() fails"). We no longer need the patch for binder.

Reverting such patch allows us to have a lockless access to alloc->vma
in specific cases where the mmap_lock is not required. This approach
avoids the contention that caused a performance regression.

 binder_alloc_set_vma() also fixed comment section]
