[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 18/25] avcodec/utils: Only call codec->close if init has been called

avcodec_open2() also called the AVCodec's close function if an error
happened before init had ever been called if the AVCodec has the
FF_CODEC_CAP_INIT_CLEANUP flag set. This is against the documentation of
said flag: "The codec allows calling the close function for deallocation
even if the init function returned a failure."

E.g. the SVQ3 decoder is not ready to be closed if init has never been
called.

Fixes: NULL dereference

If someone were to call avcodec_alloc_context3(NULL) and manually fill
in avctx->codec, then the close function might even be called before
avctx->priv_data has been allocated.
