Subject: [PATCH] binder: fix double-free in dbitmap

A process might fail to allocate a new bitmap when trying to expand its
proc->dmap. In that case, dbitmap_grow() fails and frees the old bitmap
via dbitmap_free(). However, the driver calls dbitmap_free() again when
the same process terminates, leading to a double-free error:

Fix this issue by marking proc->map NULL in dbitmap_free().
