In the fail: block of decode_nal_units, a check as to whether fc->ref is
nonzero is used. Before this patch, fc->ref was set to NULL in
frame_context_setup. The issue is that, by the time frame_context_setup
is called, falliable functions (namely slices_realloc and
ff_vvc_decode_frame_ps) have already been called. Therefore, there
could arise a situation in which the fc->ref test of decode_nal_units'
fail: block is performed while fc->ref has an invalid value. This seems
to be particularly prevalent in situations where the FrameContexts are
being reused. The patch resolves the issue by moving the assignment of
fc->ref to NULL to the very top of decode_nal_units, before any falliable
functions are called.
