For the record, I tested this patch with my instrumented code, on 3
different input files, each with 3 different real-world logo areas (not
matching the input video, of course), so a total of 9 tests. The
results are as follows:

* The accumulated reconstruction error (sum of differences between
  original video and interpolated results) went down in 8 cases, from a
  negligible -0.1% to a significant -4.9% in the best case. In one
  case, it went up, by +1.0%. On average the reconstruction error went
  down by -2.2%.

* In terms of absolute error, the error went down on average by -0.8
  for 4 pixels (which are 4 luma samples and 2 chroma samples for my
  YUV 4:2:0 input files.) This is a small gain (0.8/1530) compared to
  my previous patch, but still a gain on average.
