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.

v3:
* Improved comment about flags being copied from newly allocated mbuf.
* Added test cases for copying at and past end of packet. (Stephen)
v2:
* Improved comment about preserving flags for newly allocated mbuf
potentially using pinned external buffer.
* Added missing spaces in expression. (Stephen)
