Carlos Llamas 3ebcd3460c binder: fix double-free in dbitmap
A process might fail to allocate a new bitmap when trying to expand its
proc->dmap. In that case, dbitmap_grow() fails and frees the old bitmap
via dbitmap_free(). However, the driver calls dbitmap_free() again when
the same process terminates, leading to a double-free error:

  ==================================================================
  BUG: KASAN: double-free in binder_proc_dec_tmpref+0x2e0/0x55c

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

Fix this issue by marking proc->map NULL in dbitmap_free().

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
