FFmpeg 3.3+3.4-dev crash when scaling to same dimensions with scale_npp

[Oleg Larionov]

Summary of the bug:
I am trying to transcode and scale video from mp4+h264 to mp4+h264 using h264_nvenc encoder, h264_cuvid decoder and scale_npp filter. FFmpeg crashes with segfault if source and target dimensions (from scale_npp) are same.

How to reproduce:

% ffmpeg -y -hwaccel cuvid -c:v h264_cuvid -i bug_input.mp4 -c:v h264_nvenc -vf "scale_npp=w=1280:h=720" -vb 4096k -an -sn -f mp4 out.mp4

Happens to me as well, when source and destination dimensions match for scale_npp.

Seems that the output's hw_frames_ctx was not properly initialized:

(gdb) info locals
ctx = 0x3b7e7a0
s = 0x3b7e8a0
outlink = 0x3b804e0
frames_ctx = <error reading variable frames_ctx (Cannot access memory at address 0x8)>

494     AVFilterLink             *outlink = ctx->outputs[0];
495     AVHWFramesContext     *frames_ctx = (AVHWFramesContext*)outlink->hw_frames_ctx->data;

Closing due to inactivity > 5 years and also newer versions of ffmpeg and GPU are available at this time. Thank you
