android: drivers: Avoid debugfs race in binder
If a /d/binder/proc/[pid] entry is kept open after linux has torn down the associated process, binder_proc_show can deference an invalid binder_proc that has been stashed in the debugfs inode. Validate that the binder_proc ptr passed into binder_proc_show has not been freed by looking for it within the global process list whilst the global lock is held. If the ptr is not valid, print nothing.
