android: binder: fix the race mmap and alloc_new_buf_locked

There is RaceFuzzer report like below because we have no lock to close
below the race between binder_mmap and binder_alloc_new_buf_locked.
To close the race, let's use memory barrier so that if someone see
alloc->vma is not NULL, alloc->vma_vm_mm should be never NULL.

(I didn't add stable mark intentionallybecause standard android
userspace libraries that interact with binder (libbinder & libhwbinder)
prevent the mmap/ioctl race. - from Todd)
