I've tried to add parent for shadow bo, I trouble how to free shadow bo.
My old though is the life cycle of shadow bo is same as parent. That 
means parent bo refers shadow bo when initialization, unref shadow bo 
when BO is freeing, other people cannot refer shadow bo.

So if we set bo->shadow->parent and reference it, then the bo cannot be 
freed.
