binder: fix hang of unregistered readers



commit 31643d84b8c3d9c846aa0e20bc033e46c68c7e7d upstream.

With the introduction of binder_available_for_proc_work_ilocked() in
commit 1b77e9dc ("ANDROID: binder: remove proc waitqueue") a binder
thread can only "wait_for_proc_work" after its thread->looper has been
marked as BINDER_LOOPER_STATE_{ENTERED|REGISTERED}.

This means an unregistered reader risks waiting indefinitely for work
since it never gets added to the proc->waiting_threads. If there are no
further references to its waitqueue either the task will hang. The same
applies to readers using the (e)poll interface.

I couldn't find the rationale behind this restriction. So this patch
restores the previous behavior of allowing unregistered threads to
"wait_for_proc_work". Note that an error message for this scenario,
which had previously become unreachable, is now re-enabled.
