    binder: fix UAF in binder_free_transaction()

    In binder_free_transaction(), the t->to_proc is read under the t->lock.
    However, once the t->lock is dropped, the to_proc can die in parallel.
    This leads to a use-after-free error when we attempt to acquire its
    inner lock right afterwards:

    To prevent this, pin the target thread (t->to_thread) to guarantee the
    target process remains alive. Undelivered transactions without a target
    thread are already safe, as the target process can only be the current
    context in those paths.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
