Currently this is the case as there is no user who would benefit from
the single fd case. The only known user is the gralloc HAL which
always uses BINDER_TYPE_FDA to send dmabufs. I guess we could move the
code into binder_translate_fd if we were willing to bring back
binder_fd_object's flags field. This looks possible, but I think it'd
be a more intrusive change.
