[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 33/33] avcodec/mpeg4videodec: Move use_intra_dc_vlc to stack, fix data race

use_intra_dc_vlc is currently kept in sync between frame threads
in mpeg4_update_thread_context(), yet it is set when decoding
blocks, i.e. after ff_thread_finish_setup(). This is a data race
and therefore undefined behaviour.

This race can be fixed easily by moving the variable from the context
to the stack: use_intra_dc_vlc is only read in
mpeg4_decode_block() and only if one is decoding an intra block.
There are three callsites for this function: One in
mpeg4_decode_partitioned_mb() which always sets use_intra_dc_vlc
before the call and two in mpeg4_decode_mb(). One of these callsites
is for intra blocks and use_intra_dc_vlc is set before it;
the last callsite is for non-intra blocks, where use_intra_dc_vlc
is ignored. So if it is used, it always uses a new value and can
therefore be moved to the stack.

The above also explains why this data race did not lead to
FATE-test failures.
