The only caller to ff_h264_decode_init_vlc() already uses ff_thread_once() for the call; ergo the check via a simple int with static storage duration in ff_h264_decode_init_vlc() is redundant. And if it were not redundant, it would be a potential for data races. So remove it. Signed-off-by: Andreas Rheinhardt <andreas.rheinhardt@gmail.com>tags/n4.4
