From: Shivam Kalra <shivamkalra98@zohomail.in>

When a process is deregistered from the binder context, the all_procs
vector may have significant unused capacity. Add logic to shrink the
vector using a conservative strategy that prevents shrink-then-regrow
oscillation.

The shrinking strategy triggers when length drops below 1/4 of capacity,
and shrinks to twice the current length rather than to the exact length.
This provides hysteresis to avoid repeated reallocations when the process
count fluctuates.

The shrink operation uses GFP_KERNEL and is allowed to fail gracefully
since it is purely an optimization. The vector remains valid and
functional even if shrinking fails.
