[PATCH] binder: fix yet another UAF in binder_devices

From: Carlos Llamas
Date: Sat May 24 2025 - 18:08:33 EST


Commit e77aff5528a18 ("binderfs: fix use-after-free in binder_devices")
addressed a use-after-free where devices could be released without first
being removed from the binder_devices list. However, there is a similar
path in binder_free_proc() that was missed:

==================================================================

Call binder_remove_device() within binder_free_proc() to ensure the
device is removed from the binder_devices list before being kfreed.
