Additional note: We need to check in the uk_netbuf_disconnect for
refcount to be one. We should avoid disconnecting buffer with multi-user
reference. In the free function it done correctly but the
uk_netbuf_disconnect is exposed to the user directly.
Probably it wise to add a note on

* uk_netbuf_connect
* uk_netbuf_append
regarding the refcount and reference to uk_netbuf
Yes, I will do.

While freeing the buffers in the chain, there maybe buffers with higher
reference count. We need to atleast put define a way to inform the user
that we have not freed some buffers in the chain.
I will add a debug message.
