While testing zesty it appears that the patch does not resolve issues
there, and will have to be rewritten for it and newer.

  [Test Case]

   1. Set up mythtv
   2. Configure vdpau video decoder with de-interlacing
   3. On frontend select play on h265/hevc encoded media
   4. See error

  [Regression Potential]

   * Fix is narrowly applied to hevc/h265 decoding in the vdpau decoder.
