capsfilter: only set caps when different

When we have an input buffer with caps and when those caps are different from
the caps we want, only then make a writable copy of the input buffer as the
output buffer and set the caps on that output buffer. This avoids some cases
where we took a subbuffer for setting caps that were the same.
