[OE-core] [poky][PATCH v4 4/5] gstreamer1.0-plugins-base: Add GST_VIDEO_FRAME_MAP_FLAG_NO_REF related patch

Hi Zhu,

This backport seems useful. If I understand it correctly, the main 
benefit is that buffers that come from the video decoder won't be copied 
when make_writable() is called, which otherwise would happen with this 
patch (because the video decoder still has a reference to the buffer). 
The result is that it gets rid of unnecessary buffer copies. This is 
your main reason for these patches, right? Can you describe a use case 
where these unnecessary copies caused you trouble? It would be helpful 
for further understanding.

cheers,
   Carlos
