Yes it's a singleton. It's kind of a bad design, but I don't see how to
do it differently with 3.0 core apis.

And I fixed vaapi-x11/drm according to the review. I thought I fixed it,
but I didn't see a problem during my tests: If the vout is GL, it'll try
to create the vaapi instance, therefore, vlc_va_t modules won't be able
to create a X11/DRM vaapi one. There is no problem on desktops that
doesn't handle interop or if you disable gl.
Sadly, I tested vlc_va_t vaapi-x11/drm on a desktop that doesn't handle
vaapi interop (nvidia card), therefore I was able to use it. That's why
I didn't see the issue.

To fix (or workaround) this issue, I thought of adding DRM support in
the vaapi gl converter, so either you have DRM with direct rendering via
the vout, or you have DRM with software rendering via vlc_va_t.
