[PATCH v3] binder: fix proc->files use-after-free

[Todd Kjos]

proc->files cleanup is initiated by binder_vma_close. Therefore
a reference on the binder_proc is not enough to prevent the
files_struct from being released while the binder_proc still has
a reference. This can lead to an attempt to dereference the
stale pointer obtained from proc->files prior to proc->files
cleanup. This has been seen once in task_get_unused_fd_flags()
when __alloc_fd() is called with a stale "files".

The fix is to protect proc->files with a mutex to prevent cleanup
while in use.

v2: declare binder_get_files_struct as static
v3: rework to protect proc->files with a mutex instead of using get_files_struct

Also needed in 4.14
