[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH v7 1/5] avformat/subtitles: extend ff_subtitles_queue_insert() to support empty events

[Marth64]

If ff_subtitles_queue_insert() were to given a NULL buffer
with 0 length, it would still attempt to grow the packet
or memcpy depending on if merge option is enabled.

In this commit, consider a NULL buffer with 0 length as
an empty event and do not attempt to modify the packet.
This way, if a subtitle demuxer happens to pass an empty
cue or wants to use av_get_packet() to read bytes, there
are no unnecessary operations on the packet after it is
allocated.
