During target port swap, the swap logic ignores the DROPPED flag in the nodes. As a node then moves into the UNUSED state, the reference count will be dropped. If a node is later reused and moved out of the UNUSED state, an access can result in a use-after-free assert. Fix by having the port swap logic propagate the DROPPED flag when switching nodes. This will avoid reference from being dropped.
