In the current code, we call frame_unref only when the frame is
outputted. This is OK for normal playback, but when seek happens,
the frames stored in DPB is not outputted and causes some memory
leak.
The correct way is that we should call frame_unref every time we
finish the handle_frame(), which is also the behaviour of H264/H265
decoder.

Spec says:
In a frame picture top_field_first being set to ‘1’ indicates that the
top field of the reconstructed frame is the first field output by the
decoding process. top_field_first being set to ‘0’ indicates that the
bottom field of the reconstructed frame is the first field output by
decoding process.
Here, the "output" should be interpreted just as the output order, not
including the decoding order. The field should be decoded as the order
they comes in the stream. Namely, no matter top_field_first is 0 or 1,
the first coming field is the first one to be decoded.
