DMA handle are buffers passed to DSP which are only unmapped when DSP updated
the buffer fd in fdlist.
fdlist implementation: misc: fastrpc: Add fdlist implementation - kernel/git/next/linux-next.git - The linux-next integration testing tree <https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/commit/drivers/misc/fastrpc.c?id=8f6c1d8c4f0cc316b0456788fff8373554d1d99d>

A remote call payload carries both input/output buffers and dma handles. The lifetime
of input/output buffer is a remote call which means that any buffer allocated or mapped
for a remote call will be freed or unmapped when the remote call is completing. Whereas,
dma handles can get freed over some other remote call whenever the DSP will update
fdlist. So if a remote call passed multiple dma handles with same fd to DSP, on driver, ref
count will be incremented, but DSP can update fdlist only 1 time for the same fd as DSP also
has a ref counting happening for the dma handle and fdlist is updated when the DSP ref
count goes to 0. In this case, the map will not get freed even though it is no longer in use.

nbufs -> total input/output buffers
nscalars -> nbufs + dma handles
So here, avoiding ref increment for dma handles.
