binder: Fix memory corruption via page aliasing
binder_deferred_release was not unmapping the page from the buffer
before freeing it, causing memory corruption. This only happened
when page(s) had not been freed by binder_update_page_range, which
properly unmaps the pages.
This only happens on architectures with VIPT aliasing.
To reproduce, create a program which opens, mmaps, munmaps, then closes
the binder very quickly. This should leave a page allocated when the
binder is released. When binder_deferrred_release is called on the
close, the page will remain mapped to the address in the linear
proc->buffer. Later, we may map the same physical page to a different
virtual address that has different coloring, and this may cause
aliasing to occur.
PAGE_POISONING will greatly increase your chances of noticing any
problems.
