Thanks Colin. I was waiting for this warning to hit mainline so that I
could add the following tags to the fix:

  Fixes: 162c79731448 ("binder: avoid user addresses in debug logs")
  Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@xxxxxxxxx>
  Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202312060851.cudv98wG-lkp@xxxxxxxxx/

Feel free to take them for a v2 if you'd like. Either way,
