[PATCH v3 1/1] binder: return pending info for frozen async txns

From: Li Li
Date: Wed Nov 23 2022 - 15:18:35 EST

From: Li Li <dualli@xxxxxxxxxx>

An async transaction to a frozen process will still be successfully
put in the queue. But this pending async transaction won't be processed
until the target process is unfrozen at an unspecified time in the
future. Pass this important information back to the user space caller
by returning BR_TRANSACTION_PENDING_FROZEN.
