Description
This fixes a bad sigsegv on AMD GPUs (maybe others too, though I've only seen it reported on AMD) running on Linux. Basically, because of the order of the members in session_t, hwdevice would be destroyed before the avcodec context. This causes problems because the context relies on the hwdevice still being active - as in, when the hwdevice is destroyed the dri library is unloaded, and va calls methods in there.
Here's a backtrace of the sigsegv:
