Wait, is it because I send binder fd in BINDER_TYPE_FD object?
I was just testing different object types and for BINDER_TYPE_FD I
needed an fd, and the binder fd was the only fd that the test already
had opened, so I was like OK, here is an fd if you need one here....
Can it be a problem in real life? But either way this deadlock is
quite unpleasant for fuzzing...
