FROMLIST: binder: refactor binder ref inc/dec for thread safety
(from https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9817781/ ) Once locks are added, binder_ref's will only be accessed safely with the proc lock held. Refactor the inc/dec paths to make them atomic with the binder_get_ref* paths and node inc/dec. For example, instead of: ref = binder_get_ref(proc, handle, strong); ... binder_dec_ref(ref, strong); we now have: ret = binder_dec_ref_for_handle(proc, handle, strong, &rdata); Since the actual ref is no longer exposed to callers, a new struct binder_ref_data is introduced which can be used to return a copy of ref state.
