Work around ABBA deadlock between vaapisink and vaapipostproc

Browse source 
vaapisink takes the display lock, then does a gst_buffer_replace which can
take the lock on the gst_vaapi_video_pool.

vaapipostproc asks the gst_vaapi_video_pool for a new surface. This takes
the lock on the gst_vaapi_video_pool; if you're unlucky, there are no free
surfaces, which means that gst_vaapi_surface_create is
called. gst_vaapi_surface_create takes the display lock.

If vaapisink and vaapipostproc are in different threads, and this happens,
you get a deadlock. vaapisink holds the display lock, and wants the
gst_vaapi_video_pool lock. vaapipostproc holds the gst_vaapi_video_pool lock
and wants the display lock.

Work around this by releasing the display lock in vaapisink around the
gst_buffer_replace.
