binder: fix double-free in dbitmap
Details

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

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 Free of addr ffff00000b7c1420 by task kworker/9:1/209

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