[PATCH v2] mbuf: fix packet copy

[Morten Brørup]

mbuf: fix packet copy

Requests for copying the at the end of a packet incorrectly returned NULL,
as if copying past the end of a packet.

When allocating the mbuf for the copy from a mempool using pinned external
buffers, the external flag in this mbuf was not preserved.

Fixes: c3a90c381daa ("mbuf: add a copy routine")

v2:
* Improved comment about preserving flags for newly allocated mbuf
  potentially using pinned external buffer.
* Added missing spaces in expression. (Stephen)
