Subject: [PATCH 5.7 139/179] binder: Dont use mmput() from shrinker function.

From: Tetsuo Handa <penguin-kernel@...ove.sakura.ne.jp>

commit f867c771f98891841c217fa8459244ed0dd28921 upstream.

syzbot is reporting that mmput() from shrinker function has a risk of
deadlock [1], for delayed_uprobe_add() from update_ref_ctr() calls
kzalloc(GFP_KERNEL) with delayed_uprobe_lock held, and
uprobe_clear_state() from __mmput() also holds delayed_uprobe_lock.

Commit a1b2289cef92ef0e ("android: binder: drop lru lock in isolate
callback") replaced mmput() with mmput_async() in order to avoid sleeping
with spinlock held. But this patch replaces mmput() with mmput_async() in
order not to start __mmput() from shrinker context.
