x264 | branch: master | Anton Mitrofanov <BugMaster at narod.ru> | Sun Oct 27 15:22:51 2013 +0400| [af66a8b36d13ee359cb5386a2813c73fcba496fd] | committer: Jason Garrett-Glaser

Make x264_encoder_reconfig more threadsafe

Do the reconfig when the next frame's encode begins.
Fixes some rare crashes with frame-threading and encoder_reconfig.
