[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] avcodec/libaomenc: fix MSan warning (PR #20974)

[jzern via ffmpeg-devel <ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org>]

PR #20974 opened by jzern
URL: https://code.ffmpeg.org/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/pulls/20974
Patch URL: https://code.ffmpeg.org/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/pulls/20974.patch

codecctl_intp() is used to populate values via aom_codec_control(), not
set them. This change moves the output of the return pointer's value
after the aom_codec_control() to avoid a memory sanitizer warning (use
of uninitialized value).
