v4l2codecs: Fix holding of reference picture buffer

Nicolas Dufresne requested to merge ndufresne/gst-plugins-bad:ref-pic-ref into master

The picture buffer (V4L2 CAPTURE buffer) was being released immediatly when the request was done. This was problematic since even after the request is done, the picture buffer might still be used as a reference and should not be reused for further decoding yet.

This change effectively bind the picture buffer lifetime to the request. So that if the picture is never showned (decode only frame) or the request queue is full before the buffer is displayed, the picture buffer will remain alive.
