p_add_proto_data() is supposed to add *session*-scope data to a packet; if you
aren't going to need it to dissect the packet in question in the future, you
don't need to add it, and if you *are* going to need it to dissect the packet
in question in the future, it has to stay around as long as you have the
capture in question open.

There is no reason whatsoever to attach packet-scope data to a packet.
