According to msdk spec, there are two ways to enable filters:
1: Filters can be enabled by adding a filter ID
to mfxExtVPPDoUse. In this case, default filter parameters are used
2: Add filter configuration structures directly to mfxVideoParam.
Using 1 with 2 is optional but legal. Unfortunately it won't work
with some specific use cases like Detail/EdgeEnhancement.
Let's stick with option2 which works fine for all VPP operations.

Since we do the MSDK initializing in set_caps(), a FALSE
return may still cause the invokation of set_caps() again
and this will leads to buffer allocation and other mess-up.
So make sure the msdk initialized correctly before trying
to do any buffer allocation.

Make sure all the enabled filter structures are added in the
mfxVideoParm before doing the VPPQuery so that msdk
can do the input param validation

Using NV12 layout in dmabuf mode giving mis-aligned
VPP output with the media-driver. Keep the NV12 support
(so that we can file the bug agianst msdk or mediadriver),
but lower the ordering so that BGRA picks as default.
NV12 issue can be reproduced with explicit capfilter:
vidoetestsrc ! msdkvpp ! video/x-raw\(memory:DMABuf\),format=NV12 ! glimagesink
So far msdk produced dmabuf fds are non-mappable.
If user wants to download the content of underlined surfaces,
dmabufcapsfeature negotiated pipeline will fail. So if the input surface
is dmabuf and downstream doesn't have support for dmabuf capsfeatures,
we do the vpp (no passthrough) and produce the mappable videomemory
buffers.

prpose_allocation:
-- always instantiate a pool for for upstream
-- use async_depth + 1 as min buffer count
decide_allocation:
-- always create a new bufferpool for source pad.
Each of the msdk element has to create it's own mfxsurfacepool
which is an msdk contraint. For eg: Each Msdk component (vpp, dec and
enc)
will invoke the external Frame allocator for video-memory usage
So sharing the pool between gst-msdk elements might not be a good idea.
