[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 3/6] avcodec/utils: Sanitize options before using them

This is how it is supposed to happen, yet when using frame threading,
the codec's init function has been called before preinit. This can lead
to crashes when e.g. using unsupported lowres values for decoders
together with frame threading.
