 In binder_alloc_free_page of binder_alloc.c, there is a possible double
 free due to improper locking. This could lead to local escalation of
 privilege in the kernel with no additional execution privileges needed.
 User interaction is not needed for exploitation.

Required minor backporting effort. Clean build logs. Tested using the
binderfs_test selftest program which exercises binder allocation.
