Todd Kjos 372e3147df binder: refactor binder ref inc/dec for thread safety
Once locks are added, binder_ref's will only be accessed
safely with the proc lock held. Refactor the inc/dec paths
to make them atomic with the binder_get_ref* paths and
node inc/dec. For example, instead of:

  ref = binder_get_ref(proc, handle, strong);
  ...
  binder_dec_ref(ref, strong);

we now have:

  ret = binder_dec_ref_for_handle(proc, handle, strong, &rdata);

Since the actual ref is no longer exposed to callers, a
new struct binder_ref_data is introduced which can be used
to return a copy of ref state.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
