Factor out and speed up permission-checking code
Use the caching permission check for dump to save IPC.
Cache getpid() to save kernel call for other permission checks.
The C runtime library getpid() can't cache due to a fork
race condition, but we know that mediaserver doesn't fork.
Don't construct String16 on the stack.
