Staging: binder: Defer flush and release operations to avoid deadlocks.

If a transaction that contains a file descriptor fails on a later object,
the new file descriptor needs to be closed. If this is a binder file
descriptor we would deadlock in flush. If there were no other references to
the file at this point release would also be called.
