A transaction complete work is allocated and queued for each transaction. Under certain conditions the work->type might be marked as BINDER_WORK_TRANSACTION_ONEWAY_SPAM_SUSPECT to notify userspace about potential spamming threads.
However, this work->type is not being handled in binder_release_work() so it will leak during a clean up. This was reported by syzkaller with the following kmemleak dump:

Fix the leak by kfreeing this work in binder_release_work().
