You're right. libav/libavcodec/pthread_frame.c has code similar to my
ffmpeg patch http://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2016-March/190454.html,
and much more.

Note: libav/libavcodec/pthread_frame.c uses unnecessary (too strong)
memory barriers in ff_thread_report_progress(). We can fix those when
the code is merged to ffmpeg.
