I think this issue still exists, syzbot probably just hit it in a
weird way that doesn't work anymore.

This warning:

case BINDER_TYPE_FD: {
        /*
         * No need to close the file here since user-space
         * closes it for for successfully delivered
         * transactions. For transactions that weren't
         * delivered, the new fd was never allocated so
         * there is no need to close and the fput on the
         * file is done when the transaction is torn
         * down.
         */
        WARN_ON(failed_at &&
                proc->tsk == current->group_leader);
} break;

can be false-positive if the sender and recipient of the transaction
are associated with the same task_struct. But there isn't really any
reason why you wouldn't be able to have sender and recipient in the
same process, as long as the binder_proc is different.
(binder_transaction() has a weird check that refuses transactions to
handle 0 based on task_struct equality - which IMO doesn't really make
sense -, but transactions to other handles can happen just fine even
if both ends are in the same task_struct.)

Maybe the best fix is just to rip out that WARN_ON()?
