It is unnecessary since the removal of non-thread-safe callbacks
in e0786a8e. Since then, the
AVCodecContext has only been used as logcontext.

Removing ff_thread_release_buffer() allowed to remove AVCodecContext*
parameters from several other functions (not only unref functions,
but also e.g. ff_h264_ref_picture() which calls ff_h264_unref_picture()
on error).
