In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
binder: fix memory leak in binder_init()
In binder_init(), the destruction of binder_alloc_shrinker_init() is not
performed in the wrong path, which will cause memory leaks. So this commit
introduces binder_alloc_shrinker_exit() and calls it in the wrong path to
fix that.
