Subject: [PATCH 3.16 246/410] binder: check for binder_thread allocation
 failure in binder_poll()

3.16.57-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@...gle.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.

 - Adjust filename]
