binderfs_example.c includes <linux/android/binderfs.h>.

This uapi header is very new.

include/uapi/linux/android/binderfs.h was added by
commit c13295ad219d8bb0e47942d4cfc8251de449a67e
i.e. Linux  5.0


If this sample is compiled by a compiler with kernel headers
older than Linux 5.0, it will fail to build.


Documentation/process/changes.rst defines the minumal
GCC version, but the minimal kernel header version
is undefined.

Is there any criteria when to add
'-I usr/include' ?


At least, this is this case, I think.
