avcodec: Fix invalid uses of ff_codec_open2_recursive()

Normally no two codecs with FF_CODEC_CAP_INIT_THREADSAFE unset
can be initialized at the same time: a mutex in avcodec_open2()
ensures this. This implies that one cannot simply open a codec
with a non-threadsafe init-function from the init function of
a codec whose own init function is not threadsafe either as the child
codec couldn't acquire the lock.

ff_codec_open2_recursive() exists to get around this limitation:
If the init function of the child codec to be initialized is not
thread-safe, the mutex is unlocked, the child is initialized and
the mutex is locked again. This of course has as a prerequisite that
the parent AVCodecContext actually holds the lock, i.e. that the
parent codec's init function is not thread-safe. If it is, then one
can (and has to) just use avcodec_open2() directly (if the child's
init function is not thread-safe, then avcodec_open2() will have to
acquire the mutex itself (and potentially wait for it), so that it is
perfectly fine for an otherwise thread-safe init function to open
a codec with a potentially non-thread-safe init function via
avcodec_open2()).

Yet several of the users of ff_codec_open2_recursive() have the
FF_CODEC_CAP_INIT_THREADSAFE flag set; this only worked because
all the child codecs' init functions were thread-safe themselves
so that ff_codec_open2_recursive() didn't touch the mutex at all.
But of course the real solution to this is to directly use
avcodec_open2().
