Comment (by mrlika):

 I see the following ways to fix this:

 1) Restrict to use the API with not reference-counted packets by updating
 documentation and\or adding asserts validation for reference-countness.

 2) Create referenced-counted copy of not reference-counted packets and
 leave ownership to the caller. Update documentation.

 3) Change API to always leave paket ownership to the caller. Update
 documentation.
