Hi,

in r45669 I added two new functions: epan_dissect_reset, proto_tree_reset.

In BTS we have got bug #2047[1] which is something simillar, but:

 1/ IMHO it has minimal impact for speed, and this functions duplicates some code.

 2/ major thing for me was to make referencing (HF_REF_TYPE_DIRECT), 
    and unreferencing (HF_REF_TYPE_NONE) hfinfo->ref_type multi-thread dissection safe.

But achieving #2 can be done with some simpler code, rename
dfilter_prime_proto_tree to dfilter_prime() + remove tree argument,
and use new function after compiling dfilter and *before* dissection loops.

Create new function dfilter_unprime() which unreference hfs, and call
this funcion *after* dissection loop.


last point, r45669 is buggy, it never set hfi->ref_type back to HF_REF_TYPE_NONE.


So, I'll probably revert r45669, and fix it like I described above, 
I can prepare patch if anyone want to do review?

Dunno what to do with bug #2047 WONTFIX? Anders?
