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.
