In binder_transaction_buffer_release() the 'failed_at' offset indicates
the number of objects to clean up. However, this function was changed by
commit 44d8047 ("binder: use standard functions to allocate fds"),
to release all the objects in the buffer when 'failed_at' is zero.
This introduced an issue when a transaction buffer is released without
any objects having been processed so far. In this case, 'failed_at' is
indeed zero yet it is misinterpreted as releasing the entire buffer.
This leads to use-after-free errors where nodes are incorrectly freed
and subsequently accessed. Such is the case in the following KASAN
report:

In order to avoid these issues, let's always calculate the intended
'failed_at' offset beforehand. This is renamed and wrapped in a helper
function to make it clear and convenient.
