Qualcomm's db410c/db820 Venus driver currently present in mainline
kernel has a bug which mishandles the CMD_STOP requests causing the
decoder to block while draining [1].
This patch removes the workaround that was used to prevent that
situation.
Encoding/Decoding tested on db820c.
[1] on CMD_STOP, the driver is flushing all buffers and never raising
IPIPE which ends up in blocking on poll.
Refcount all of the context information. This also fixes a potential
segmentation fault when accessing freed memory (buffer returned after
the codec has been closed).

This patchset enhances Alexis Ballier's original patch and validates
it using Qualcomm's Venus hardware (driver recently landed upstream
[1]).
This has been tested on Qualcomm's DragonBoard 410c and 820c
Configure/make scripts have been validated on Ubuntu 10.04 and
16.04.
Tested decoders:
- h264
- h263
- mpeg4
- vp8
- vp9
- hevc
Tested encoders:
- h264
- h263
- mpeg4
Tested transcoding (concurrent encoding/decoding)
Some of the changes introduced:
- v4l2: code cleanup and abstractions added
- v4l2: follow the new encode/decode api.
- v4l2: fix display size for NV12 output pool.
- v4l2: handle EOS (EPIPE and draining)
- v4l2: vp8 and mpeg4 decoding and encoding.
- v4l2: hevc and vp9 support.
- v4l2: generate EOF on dequeue errors.
- v4l2: h264_mp4toannexb filtering.
- v4l2: fixed make install and fate issues.
- v4l2: codecs enabled/disabled depending on pixfmt defined
- v4l2: pass timebase/framerate to the context
- v4l2: runtime decoder reconfiguration.
- v4l2: add more frame information
- v4l2: free hardware resources on last reference being released
- v4l2: encoding: disable b-frames for upstreaming (patch required)
