I don't think you want a mutex here protecting the binder_contexts list.
Afaict there is no concurrency going on: you only modify it in when doing
namespace init and exit (for which you have no serialization); do you even
need a lock here? Or at least I would think a more lightweight alternative
(rcu/spinlock/rwlock) would suffice.
