Well, there's not much you can do. Side data in the function has the
same problem. I think if a caller expects consistency, he will have to
unref the destination frame if this function fails. And that should
still work even with this new field.
The alternative would be either unreffing the entire frame as part of
the failure path of this function (a bit too radical?), or carefully
backing up the frame and partially copying back the result on failure
(would be too much?). I thought about working on a byte-copied
temporary AVFrame, but that doesn't help with all the references.
So I left this unchanged.

not just here but
the error handling in the whole function is not optimal,
ideally the destination frame should be left intact on error while
this could leave a half copied, unref and left as is mix

[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 1/2] AVFrame: add an opaque_ref field
This is an extended version of the AVFrame.opaque field, which can be
used to attach arbitrary user information to an AVFrame.
The usefulness of the opaque field is rather limited, because it can
store only up to 32 bits of information (or 64 bit on 64 bit systems).
It's not possible to set this field to a memory allocation, because
there is no way to deallocate it correctly.
The opaque_ref field circumvents this by letting the user set an
AVBuffer, which makes the user data refcounted.

Merges Libav commit 04f3bd349651.
