[PATCH] samples: binderfs: really compile this sample and fix build issues

[Masahiro Yamada]

Even after commit c624adc9cb6e ("samples: fix binderfs sample"), this
sample is never compiled.

'hostprogs' teaches Kbuild that this is a host program, but not enough
to order to compile it. You must add it to 'always-y' to really compile
it.

Since this sample has never been compiled in upstream, various issues
are left unnoticed.

[1] compilers without <linux/android/binderfs.h> are still widely used

<linux/android/binderfs.h> is only available since commit c13295ad219d
("binderfs: rename header to binderfs.h"), i.e., Linux 5.0

If your compiler is based on UAPI headers older than Linux 5.0, you
will see the following error:

  samples/binderfs/binderfs_example.c:16:10: fatal error: linux/android/binderfs.h: No such file or directory
   #include <linux/android/binderfs.h>
            ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  compilation terminated.

You cannot rely on compilers to have such a new header.

The common approach is to install UAPI headers of this kernel into
usr/include, and then add it to the header include path.

I added 'depends on HEADERS_INSTALL' in Kconfig, and '-I usr/include'
compiler flag in Makefile.

[2] compile the sample for target architecture

Since headers_install works for the target architecture, only the native
build was able to build sample code that requires '-I usr/include'.

Commit 7f3a59db274c ("kbuild: add infrastructure to build userspace
programs") added the new syntax 'userprogs' to compile user-space
programs for the target architecture.

Use it, and 'ifndef CROSS_COMPILE' will go away.

I added 'depends on CC_CAN_LINK' because $(CC) is not necessarily capable
of linking user-space programs.

[3] use subdir-y to descend into samples/binderfs/

Since this directory does not contain any kernel-space code, it has no
point to generate built-in.a or modules.order.

Replace obj-$(CONFIG_...) with subdir-$(CONFIG_...).

[4] -Wunused-variable warning

If I compile this, I see the following warning.

  samples/binderfs/binderfs_example.c: In function 'main':
  samples/binderfs/binderfs_example.c:21:9: warning: unused variable 'len' [-Wunused-variable]
     21 |  size_t len;
        |         ^~~

I removed the unused 'len'.

[5] CONFIG_ANDROID_BINDERFS is not required

Since this is a user-space standalone program, it is independent of
the kernel configuration.

Remove 'depends on ANDROID_BINDERFS'.
