Segfault at exit involving multithreading and av_packet_free_side_data #381

Description

@Octogonapus

I have been experiencing a segfault that occurs when Julia exits while a background thread is encoding a video.
I can't reproduce the segfault when exiting from the encoding thread; this happens only when exiting from one thread while encoding from another.
I also can't get you an rr trace since this requires two threads.

MWE:

using VideoIO, Mmap, ThreadPools

nframes = 500
resolution = [2000, 1500]

path, io = mktemp()
mat = Mmap.mmap(io, Array{UInt8,3}, (resolution..., nframes))
for i = 1:nframes
    mat[:, :, i] .= rand(UInt8, resolution...)
end
Mmap.sync!(mat)
close(io)
mat = nothing
GC.gc(true)

ThreadPools.@tspawnat 2 begin
    open(path) do io
        vidmat = Mmap.mmap(io, Array{UInt8,3}, (resolution..., nframes))
        open_video_out(
            "/tmp/out.mp4",
            view(vidmat, :, :, 1),
            framerate=55,
            encoder_options=(color_range=2, crf=0, preset="ultrafast"),
            scanline_major=true,
        ) do video_io
            i = 1
            while i <= nframes
                VideoIO.write(video_io, view(vidmat, :, :, i))
                i += 1
            end
        end
    end
end

sleep(5)
exit(0)
julia -t auto --project --startup-file=no reproduce.jl
