4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Todd Kjos <tk...@android.com>

commit 7f3dc0088b98533f17128058fac73cd8b2752ef1 upstream.

proc->files cleanup is initiated by binder_vma_close. Therefore
a reference on the binder_proc is not enough to prevent the
files_struct from being released while the binder_proc still has
a reference. This can lead to an attempt to dereference the
stale pointer obtained from proc->files prior to proc->files
cleanup. This has been seen once in task_get_unused_fd_flags()
when __alloc_fd() is called with a stale "files".

The fix is to protect proc->files with a mutex to prevent cleanup
while in use.
