 Summary of the bug:
 When [https://github.com/Motion-Project/motion motion] software uses
 libavcodec h264_omx to encode frames at 1280 x 720 resolution, it hangs
 when calling OMX_EmptyThisBuffer.

 Works fine at 800 x 600 resolution.
 Works fine at 1280 x 720 resolution if input_zerocopy is disabled in
 libavcodec/omx.c : omx_encode_init function.
 Works fine if using ffmpeg binary to encode.

 Tested on various models of Raspberry Pis, all show the same problem.

 How to reproduce:
 {{{
 - motion git master 280141f, compiled from source, running on Raspbian
 Jessie.
 - Raspberry Pi GPU firmware version:
 3202f1b16896029f9da1b074b0912177e8960b52
 - Make sure h264_omx encoder is used by motion:
   - either modify motion to specifically choose the encoder
   - or get ffmpeg to always default to h264_omx encoder when H264 format
 is selected
 - Set resolution at 1280 x 720. Frame rate makes no difference.
 - Record video into a movie file, mp4 format.
 - Run motion and trigger some motion, and it will lock up.
