[ronnie sahlberg <ronniesahlberg@xxxxxxxxx>]

looking through tvb_memdup() the only caller that use it and expect
the data to be persistent are packet-nfs.c  which is easy to solve by
just adding a real g_malloc() to encapsulate the call.
Or even better, encapsulating it in a future ec_alloc() instead  since
NFS only expects these structs to live until the end of the capture
files lifetime anyway.

So,    if we first add ec_* functions   then changing tvb_memdup() to
return a packet with packet scope lifetime will be easy and only
require some small changes to packet-nfs.c
