Kill off callback reference as soon as credential is verified
During lockscreen verification, the caller-supplied callback is strongly-referenced by a binder object passed into system server. As a result the callback (which can be a heavyweight object like the activity implementing the callback) cannot be garbage-collected until the binder object is GC'ed at the system server side, which the caller have no control over. Mitigate this by cutting the link between the callback and the binder object as soon as the callback is invoked. This helps fixing the issue that we still see password shards in Settinng's heap, even after credentail verification has long been completed.
