Subject: [PATCH] binder: fix memory leak in error path

syzkallar found a 32-byte memory leak in a rarely executed error
case. The transaction complete work item was not freed if put_user()
failed when writing the BR_TRANSACTION_COMPLETE to the user command
buffer. Fixed by freeing it before put_user() is called.
