Comment(by cpinkham):

 (In [20321]) Initialize (URLContext*)->priv_data in AVF_Open() in case one
 of the other
 AVF_* functions gets called before we can allocate a AVFRingBuffer and
 assign it.  This can happen if we use libavformat/aviobuf.c's url_fopen()
 which calls avio.c's url_open() which calls url_open_protocol().
 The URLContext isn't allocated until url_open_protocol() gets called, but
 url_open_protocol immediately tries to do a url_seek() (aka AVF_Seek())
 which depend(s|ed) on priv_data already being pointed to an AVFRingBuffer.

 The bug didn't affect current usage, but showed up as a segfault when
 writing files using libavformat via our RingBuffer class.

 References #2972.
