binder: Prevent repeated use of ->mmap() via NULL mapping

binder_alloc_mmap_handler() attempts to detect the use of ->mmap() on a
binder_proc whose binder_alloc has already been initialized by checking
whether alloc->buffer is non-zero.

Before commit 880211667b20 ("binder: remove kernel vm_area for buffer
space"), alloc->buffer was a kernel mapping address, which is always
non-zero, but since that commit, it is a userspace mapping address.

A sufficiently privileged user can map /dev/binder at NULL, tricking
binder_alloc_mmap_handler() into assuming that the binder_proc has not been
mapped yet. This leads to memory unsafety.
Luckily, no context on Android has such privileges, and on a typical Linux
desktop system, you need to be root to do that.

Fix it by using the mapping size instead of the mapping address to
distinguish the mapped case. A valid VMA can't have size zero.
