Make the one-time initialization in av_get_cpu_flags() thread-safe. The
static variables |flags|, |cpuflags_mask|, and |checked| in
libavutil/cpu.c are read and written using normal load and store
operations. These are considered as data races. The fix is to use atomic
load and store operations.
Remove the |checked| variable because the invalid value of -1 for
|flags| can be used to indicate the same condition. Rename |flags| to
|cpu_flags| and move it to file scope.
The fix can be verified by running the libavutil/tests/cpu_init.c test
program under ThreadSanitizer:
./configure --toolchain=clang-tsan
make libavutil/tests/cpu_init
libavutil/tests/cpu_init
There should be no warnings from ThreadSanitizer.
Co-author: Dmitry Vyukov of Google, who suggested the data race fix.
