 * Test and acknowledge the change of status on the link.

 * Status means EOF or an error condition; a change from the normal (0)
 * status to a non-zero status can be queued in a filter's input link, it
 * becomes relevant after the frames queued in the link's FIFO are
 * processed. This function tests if frames are still queued and if a queued
 * status change has not yet been processed. In that case it performs basic
 * treatment (updating the link's timestamp) and returns a positive value to
 * let the filter do its own treatments (flushing...).
 *
 * Filters implementing the activate callback should call this function when
 * they think it might succeed (usually after checking unsuccessfully for a
 * queued frame).
 * Filters implementing the filter_frame and request_frame callbacks do not
 * need to call that since the same treatment happens in ff_filter_frame().
