This is a bug in the binder driver.  binder_poll() tells the poll system to use
the wait queue embedded in the 'struct binder_thread', but then the
BINDER_THREAD_EXIT ioctl will free the 'struct binder_thread' out from under it.

Perhaps either the waitqueue should be associated with the 'struct binder_proc'
rather than the 'struct binder_thread', or binder_poll() should take a reference
to the 'struct binder_thread'.  But I'm not too familiar with binder or epoll,
so I don't know which solution is best.

Here is a program which reproduces the bug, assuming /dev/binder0 exists:

	#include <fcntl.h>
	#include <sys/epoll.h>
	#include <sys/ioctl.h>
	#include <unistd.h>

	#define BINDER_THREAD_EXIT 0x40046208ul

	int main()
	{
		int fd, epfd;
		struct epoll_event event = { .events = EPOLLIN };
		
		fd = open("/dev/binder0", O_RDONLY);
		epfd = epoll_create(1000);
		epoll_ctl(epfd, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, fd, &event);
		ioctl(fd, BINDER_THREAD_EXIT, NULL);
	}
