The purpose is to support filter object detection. We need a place within 
AVFrame
to save bounding boxes (the result of object detection, where are the objects, 
and
what are the objects). And we plan to use AVFrame->private_ref as now, see more 
discussion
at http://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2021-February/276641.html

As at https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/blob/master/libavutil/frame.h#L683, 
private_ref is for internal use by a single libav* library. 
It has to be NULL when ownership of the frame leaves the respective library, 

buffersink is the last step when the frame leaves libavfilter, so I add unref 
here.

In the patch 3 of this patch set, private_ref is allocated in filter 
vf_dnn_detect.c to save
the detected bounding boxes.

Other filters such as classify, bbox_to_roi (both in plan) will need the 
bounding boxes, and
we also plan to update vf_drawbox/text to visualize the bounding boxes.
