The implementation of threading on slice/wavefront breaks with these
patches: multiple threads are actually accessing these buffers. Having
these buffers per thread may alleviate the issue, but that would
quickly reduce the patches benefit.

Anyway, they were more of a poking, so patches 1-4 dropped.

PS: not handled in those patches, but tab_mvf_pool / rpl_tab_pool size
might be divided by 16, see how x/y are rounded in
temporal_luma_motion_vector. YMMV, seeing how threading was
implemented for slices.
