binder: fix hang of unregistered readers
With the introduction of binder_available_for_proc_work_ilocked() in commit 1b77e9dc ("ANDROID: binder: remove proc waitqueue") a binder thread can only "wait_for_proc_work" after its thread->looper has been marked as BINDER_LOOPER_STATE_{ENTERED|REGISTERED}. This means an unregistered reader risks waiting indefinitely for work since it never gets added to the proc->waiting_threads. If there are no further references to its waitqueue either the task will hang. The same applies to readers using the (e)poll interface. I couldn't find the rationale behind this restriction. So this patch restores the previous behavior of allowing unregistered threads to "wait_for_proc_work". Note that an error message for this scenario, which had previously become unreachable, is now re-enabled.
