We don't use the same instances as we copy them, but we reuse the value,
which I don't think is conceptually correct. camera3_stream_buffer_t is
meant to pass buffer information in the API, it's not a buffer object in
itself, so I don't think it's the right level of abstraction (and we
have to extend it with additional fields anyway).
