The outgoing queue is going to be replaced by fences, but I think we 
need to keep the incoming queue.

If iio_dma_buffer_enqueue() is called with a dmabuf and the buffer is 
not active, it will be marked as queued, but we don't actually keep a 
reference to it anywhere. It will never be submitted to the DMA, and it 
will never be signaled as completed.
