Subject: [PATCH 3.11 065/131] staging: binder: Fix death notifications

3.11.10.6 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: =?UTF-8?q?Arve=20Hj=C3=B8nnev=C3=A5g?= <arve@...roid.com>

commit e194fd8a5d8e0a7eeed239a8534460724b62fe2d upstream.

The change (008fa749e0fe5b2fffd20b7fe4891bb80d072c6a) that moved the
node release code to a separate function broke death notifications in
some cases. When it encountered a reference without a death
notification request, it would skip looking at the remaining
references, and therefore fail to send death notifications for them.
