for counting the devices that are opened via the cdev path. This count
is increased and decreased by the cdev path. The group path checks it
to achieve exclusion with the cdev path. With this, only one path (group
path or cdev path) will claim DMA ownership. This avoids scenarios in
which devices within the same group may be opened via different paths.
