Subject: [PATCH 1/3] binder: Use memset_page() in binder_alloc_clear_buf()

The use of kmap() is being deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page()
where it is feasible. With kmap_local_page(), the mapping is per
thread, CPU local and not globally visible.

binder_alloc_clear_buf() is a function where the use of kmap_local_page()
in place of kmap() is correctly suited because the mapping is local to the
thread.

Therefore, use kmap_local_page() / kunmap_local() but, instead of open
coding these two functions and adding a memset() of the virtual address
of the mapping, prefer memset_page().
