Fix T57105: Baked Particles could not be rendered as expected

Same fix as for smoke (and is what caching proposal is AFAIK):
share cache between copied and original objects.

One thing which is still missing to be fixed is to make auto-cache
more reliable. It was already kind of broken, so don't think it
should be a stopping factor for this fix.
