[vlc-devel] [PATCH 3/3] mmal/vout: Use default allocator for mmal pool

The port agnostic allocator helpers in mmal leak memory (see
https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/310). As there is no benefit
using them instead of the default allocator in our case anyway, switch to the
default allocator, which avoids memory leakage on pool destruction.
