Using a field for both an ownership pointer and as a pure data pointer
is bad and confusing. IMO there should be different pointers for this;
or rather: bitstream is always set and used as data pointer and the
another pointer for ownership which may alias bitstream. In fact, it
looks like this is exactly what bitstream_internal is, it is just not
used by H.264 and HEVC in this manner (they use bitstream for allocated
stuff).
With the approach outlined above, ff_nvdec_simple_end_frame() might
become obsolete.
