Alice Ryhl 3e0ae02ba8 rust_binder: fix race condition on death_list
Rust Binder contains the following unsafe operation:

	// SAFETY: A `NodeDeath` is never inserted into the death list
	// of any node other than its owner, so it is either in this
	// death list or in no death list.
	unsafe { node_inner.death_list.remove(self) };

This operation is unsafe because when touching the prev/next pointers of
a list element, we have to ensure that no other thread is also touching
them in parallel. If the node is present in the list that `remove` is
called on, then that is fine because we have exclusive access to that
list. If the node is not in any list, then it's also ok. But if it's
present in a different list that may be accessed in parallel, then that
may be a data race on the prev/next pointers.

And unfortunately that is exactly what is happening here. In
Node::release, we:

 1. Take the lock.
 2. Move all items to a local list on the stack.
 3. Drop the lock.
 4. Iterate the local list on the stack.

Combined with threads using the unsafe remove method on the original
list, this leads to memory corruption of the prev/next pointers. This
leads to crashes like this one:

Thus, modify Node::release to pop items directly off the original list.

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.
