update_dpb() reorders the DPB entries such as the same frame in two
consecutive decoding requests always ends up in the same DPB slot.
It first clears all the active flags in the DPB, and then checks whether
the active flag is not set to decide whether an entry is a candidate for
matching or not.
However, this means that unused DPB entries are also candidates for
matching, and an unused entry will match if we are testing it against a
frame which (TopFieldOrderCount, BottomFieldOrderCount) is (0, 0).
As it turns out, this happens for the very first frame of a stream, but
it is not a problem as it would be copied to the first entry anyway.
More concerning is that after an IDR frame the Top/BottomFieldOrderCount
can be reset to 0, and this time update_dpb() will match the IDR frame
to the first unused entry of the DPB (and not the entry at index 0 as
would be expected) because the first slots will have different values.
The Hantro driver is ok with this, but when trying to use the same
function for another driver (MT8183) I noticed decoding artefacts caused
by this hole in the DPB.
Fix this by maintaining a list of DPB slots that are actually in use,
instead of relying on the absence of the active flag to do so. This also
allows us to optimize matching a bit.
