Just noticed that we now need to lock to get the DMA handle. It's
inconsequential in practice but a bit inelegant.

Since the DMA handle never changes, and is only ever needed during
initialization, I think I will just insert a patch before this one that
adds a `pub(super) dma_handle` member to `Cmdq`. That way we only need
to obtain the handle at construction time and can get rid of this
method, which keeps the public API focused on message handling.

No need to resend, I will apply this patch on top of mine and merge.
