[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH v2] avcodec/vp9: avoid using uninitialized mutex/condition

When using slice decoding vp9_free_entries() is called before
vp9_alloc_entries() is ever called. It should destroy properly
initialized variables (or check it was never called before).

It usually works undetected as pthread implementations allows NULL as a
special value (and should return EINVAL but doesn't). But pthreadGC2
doesn't allow NULL in pthread_mutex_destroy() and crashes when that's
the case.
