[FLINK-7513][tests] remove TestBufferFactory#MOCK_BUFFER ## What is the purpose of the change The static `TestBufferFactory#MOCK_BUFFER` buffer did not allow proper reference counting and we should rather create test buffers in the tests which may also be released afterwards. ## Brief change log - replace `TestBufferFactory#MOCK_BUFFER` use with `TestBufferFactory.createBuffer()` - fix this buffer's reference counting and make sure it is correct ## Verifying this change This change is already covered by existing tests, such as `RemoteInputChannelTest` which was the only user of `TestBufferFactory#MOCK_BUFFER`. ## Does this pull request potentially affect one of the following parts: - Dependencies (does it add or upgrade a dependency): (no) - The public API, i.e., is any changed class annotated with `@Public(Evolving)`: (no) - The serializers: (no) - The runtime per-record code paths (performance sensitive): (no) - Anything that affects deployment or recovery: JobManager (and its components), Checkpointing, Yarn/Mesos, ZooKeeper: (no) ## Documentation - Does this pull request introduce a new feature?
