This is already passed as this is part of the slice header that we both
pass and parse to structure. Each slice have it's first MB indicated
(that standard to H264) and you can deduce the lost slice from that.

We do this in per-frame mode only. The offset of the slice in the
bitstream is always 0 in per-slice mode, since each v4l2 input buffer
is a slice.
