[PATCH v2] binder: Fix missing kernel-doc entries in binder.c

[PATCH v2] binder: Fix missing kernel-doc entries in binder.c

[Kriish Sharma]

Fix several kernel-doc warnings in `drivers/android/binder.c` caused by
undocumented struct members and function parameters.

In particular, add missing documentation for the `@thread` parameter in
binder_free_buf_locked().

Signed-off-by: Kriish Sharma <kriish.sharma2006@gmail.com>
---
v2:
  - Align `@thread` with other parameters
  - Move `@thread` after `@proc`
  - Update commit subject to "binder:"
