Pass PacketBuffer as pointer.

Historically we've been passing PacketBuffer by shallow copying through out
the stack. Right now, this is only correct as the caller would not use
PacketBuffer after passing into the next layer in netstack.

With new buffer management effort in gVisor/netstack, PacketBuffer will
own a Buffer (to be added). Internally, both PacketBuffer and Buffer may
have pointers and shallow copying shouldn't be used.

Updates #2404.
