ffmpeg commit cdf6eb5a97

This fixes an issue that will cause mpv to fall back to software decoding when
trying to play VC1 encoded video with hw accel. The fix is in ffmpeg HEAD and
the new 2.3 release, but hasn't made it into the other branches of ffmpeg
(yet?).

The patch is simply diff'd from the ffmpeg git repository and applies cleanly
to ffmpeg 2.1.5 (fc20) as well as 2.2.5 (development).
