Patch title and description makes no sense, and uses the term 'fixed GOP'
incorrectly. I explained this already in my reply, here:

    https://mailman.videolan.org/pipermail/x264-devel/2017-August/012299.html

I also explained how to do this correctly, in that same email. What this patch
does is not the correct way to accomplish this.
