Metadata buffer is allocated during get_args for any remote call.
This buffer carries buffers, fdlists and other payload information
for the call. If the buffer is not reset, put_args might find some
garbage FDs in the fdlist which might have an existing mapping in
the list. This could result in improper freeing of FD map when DSP
might still be using the buffer. Added change to reset the metadata
buffer after allocation.

Thanks for reviewing the patches, Greg. I'll send the 3 patches as a
