Subject: binder: check for binder_thread allocation failure in binder_poll()
From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com>
commit f88982679f54f75daa5b8eff3da72508f1e7422f upstream.
If the kzalloc() in binder_get_thread() fails, binder_poll()
dereferences the resulting NULL pointer.
Fix it by returning POLLERR if the memory allocation failed.
This bug was found by syzkaller using fault injection.
