UPSTREAM: binder: fix UAF when releasing todo list
When releasing a thread todo list when tearing down
a binder_proc, the following race was possible which
could result in a use-after-free:
1. Thread 1: enter binder_release_work from binder_thread_release
2. Thread 2: binder_update_ref_for_handle() -> binder_dec_node_ilocked()
3. Thread 2: dec nodeA --> 0 (will free node)
4. Thread 1: ACQ inner_proc_lock
5. Thread 2: block on inner_proc_lock
6. Thread 1: dequeue work (BINDER_WORK_NODE, part of nodeA)
7. Thread 1: REL inner_proc_lock
8. Thread 2: ACQ inner_proc_lock
9. Thread 2: todo list cleanup, but work was already dequeued
10. Thread 2: free node
11. Thread 2: REL inner_proc_lock
12. Thread 1: deref w->type (UAF)
The problem was that for a BINDER_WORK_NODE, the binder_work element
must not be accessed after releasing the inner_proc_lock while
processing the todo list elements since another thread might be
handling a deref on the node containing the binder_work element
leading to the node being freed.
