libbinder: setupPolling flushes commands
Calling setupPolling and then handling polled commands has the effect of never telling the kernel anything, and then then waiting for it to get back to you. While this type of (non)communication may be common among some humans, it should not be common among our processes. So - the general requirement for a flushCommands call by every client of this call is lifted. Critically, also, this means that LL-NDK users of the setupPolling command don't also need a flushCommand. This avoids an extra API. Sure, it may be useful to have such a command, but whenever it is used in our tree, it is mostly used as a hack. So, hopefully this delay in adding it will instead encourage fixes in libbinder which help avoid people needing to understand binder internals.
