This can cause issues with processes using the poll()
interface:
1) client sends two oneway transactions
2) the second one gets queued on async_todo
(because the server didn't handle the first one
yet)
3) server returns from poll(), picks up the
first transaction and does transaction work
4) server is done with the transaction, sends
BC_FREE_BUFFER, and the second transaction gets
moved to thread->todo
5) libbinder's handlePolledCommands() only handles
the commands in the current data buffer, so
doesn't see the new transaction
6) the server continues running and issues a new
outgoing transaction. Now, it suddenly finds
the incoming oneway transaction on its thread
todo, and returns that to userspace.
7) userspace does not expect this to happen; it
may be holding a lock while making the outgoing
transaction, and if handling the incoming
trasnaction requires taking the same lock,
userspace will deadlock.
By queueing the async transaction to the proc
workqueue, we make sure it's only picked up when
a thread is ready for proc work.

We also need to hold the inner lock to protect the node
weak/strong ref tracking fields as long as node->proc

we don't have any node work queued).
This means that other functions that manipulate these fields

and binder_proc_unlock() are used to acq/rel.
2) node->lock : protects most fields of binder_node.
binder_node_lock() and binder_node_unlock() are
used to acq/rel
3) proc->inner_lock : protects the thread and node lists
(proc->threads, proc->nodes) and all todo lists associated
with the binder_proc (proc->todo, thread->todo,
proc->delivered_death and node->async_todo).
binder_inner_proc_lock() and binder_inner_proc_unlock()
are used to acq/rel
Any lock under procA must never be nested under any lock at the same
level or below on procB.

foo_nlocked() : requires node->lock
foo_ilocked() : requires proc->inner_lock

binder_thread and binder_proc may be accessed by other
threads when processing transaction. Therefore they
must be prevented from being freed while a transaction
is in progress that references them.
This is done by introducing a temporary reference
counter for threads and procs that indicates that the
object is in use and must not be freed. binder_thread_dec_tmpref()
and binder_proc_dec_tmpref() are used to decrement
the temporary reference.
It is safe to free a binder_thread if there
is no reference and it has been released
(indicated by thread->is_dead).
It is safe to free a binder_proc if it has no
remaining threads and no reference.

to safely access and set references for t->from
and for debug code to safely access t->to_thread
and t->to_proc.

In binder_thread_read, the BINDER_WORK_NODE command is used
to communicate the references on the node to userspace. It
can take a couple of iterations in the loop to construct
the list of commands for user space. When locking is added,
the lock would need to be release on each iteration which
means the state could change. The work item is not dequeued
during this process which prevents a simpler queue management
that can just dequeue up front and handle the work item.
Fixed by changing the BINDER_WORK_NODE algorithm in
binder_thread_read to determine which commands to send
to userspace atomically in 1 pass so it stays consistent
with the kernel view.
The work item is now dequeued immediately since only
