From: Michael Qiu <qiudayu@chinac.com>

When doing packet clone, if packet source is from DPDK driver,
multi-segment must be considered, and copy the segment's data one by
one.

Also, lots of DPDK mbuf's info is missed during a copy, like packet
type, ol_flags, etc.  That information is very important for DPDK to do
packets processing.

The dst is not pointing to the first data, but to the end of the data, 
as dp_packet_set_size() has been called.  Why not just call dst = 
dp_packet_put_uninit().

Why not using rte_pktmbuf_read() here with a check its not a contiguous 
read?

I'm taking your suggestion below, so this will be removed.

Good point! We can use `rte_pktmbuf_read()` to read the data to
`new_buffer`. It should be OK since in this clause we have always more
than 1 mbuf in the chain.
