During initialzing encoder with bframes, local buffers are allocated internally in encoder which fails since no cuda context is bound to current cpu thread. Now pushing the correct cuda context before encoder initialization fixes the issue. Also adding push/pop cuda ctx during create/destroy/map/unmap resources and destroy encoder session.

applied, thanks!
Will also backport to affected release branches.

What I'm still wondering is, how did this ever happen to work?
I suspected something like this, and verified that we were not leaking a 
bound context somewhere, and thus gave up on that trail.
Changing the order of initialization, or rather throwing initializing 
cuvid before nvenc, seems to be what causes this.
