Incrementing the reference count of a packet as a means of granting ownership is unsafe when the packet is shared across gorountines. The underlying buffer's reference count is unchanged since it "technically" has the same owning PacketBuffer, which means different goroutines operating on the underlying buffer (and packet itself) race. Clones are roughly as fast as IncRefs because the PacketBuffers allocate from a pool and the underlying buffers are cloned with copy-on-write semantics. I've left IncRef in places where the original packet in obviously going out of scope at the end of the function or in some tests.
