After going through other codes, I think the previous codes are correct.
However, the doc of `convertToNetty` is not clear about the ownership of the
reference. It transfers the ownership of the internal reference in
ManagedBuffer to the caller. In other words, after calling `convertToNetty`, we
don't need to call `ManagedBuffer.release`.
However, I understand that #10705 requires `ManagedBuffer.release` should
be called when its life ends. So how about changing the semantics of
`convertToNetty` to this: `convertToNetty` shares the internal content to the
caller; `ManagedBuffer.release` should be called when its life ends, and the
caller of `convertToNetty` should release the returned object.
What do you think?
