This tries to handle cases where separate invocations of decode_frame()
(each running in separate threads) write to respective fields in the
same AVFrame->data[]. Having per-field owners makes interaction between
readers (the referencing thread) and writers (the decoding thread)
slightly more optimal if both accesses are field-based, since they will
use the respective producer's thread objects (mutex/cond) instead of
sharing the thread objects of the first field's producer.
In practice, this fixes the following tsan-warning in fate-h264:
