max_orders is fine

what the problem is, is that CHOLESKY with lpc_passes = 1
skips the first pass LEVINSON but this line copies the output
from LEVINSON so it copies Uninitialized data.
a few lines later thats cleared with avpriv_init_lls()
but that access to uninitialized data i think is undefined behavior

if my analysis is not wrong then i think my fix is correct

thx
