I wasn't sure, I think I prefer taking one ref for each bind. If user
calls bind twice, it should call unbind twice as well (in case of leak we
free the context on process exit).

Also with this implementation, user can call bind for two devices in the
same domain, which will share the same context structure. So we have to
take as many refs as bind() calls.

Thanks,
Jean
