>> 1. Since bd90a2ec, mpeg4_unpack_bframes caches whole packets instead of
>> just the pointer to the buffer and the buffer's size in order to be able
>> to make use of refcounting to avoid copying of data; this unfortunately
>> introduced copies of packet structures and side data (if existing),
>> although the only fields that are needed are the buffer-related ones
>> (data, size and buf). This can be changed without compromising the
>> advantages of refcounting by storing a reference to the buffer.
>>
>> 2. This change also makes it easy to use only one packet throughout
>> so that an allocation and free of an AVPacket structure per filtered
>> packet can be saved by switching to ff_bsf_get_packet_ref.
>>
>> 3. Furthermore, this commit also fixes a memleak introduced in bd90a2ec:
>> If a stored b_frame with side data was used for a later frame, the side
>> data would leak when the input frame's properties were copied into the
>> output frame.
