Carlos Llamas 08853ea15d binder: fix hang of unregistered readers
commit 31643d84b8 upstream.

With the introduction of binder_available_for_proc_work_ilocked() in
commit 1b77e9dcc3 ("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.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
