Summary
binder: fix yet another UAF in binder_devices
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

binder: fix yet another UAF in binder_devices

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

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