[FFmpeg-devel] Fix leak when user preallocates a AVFormatContext, passes it to av_open_input_file, but file does not exist on disk

av_open_input_file takes memory ownership of *ic_ptr, and therefore must
free it if it nulls it.  If you pass in your own AVFormatContext (i.e. you
pass in AVFormatParameters with prealloced_context>0), but then the file
doesn't exist on disk, the current code nulls the AVFormatContext pointer
without freeing it (while if av_open_input_stream fails, it will free it
before nulling it).

This patch makes the behavior consistent and patches a leak as a result.
