Platform wise, is not possible, as far as I known, to have Wayland
without kernel's DRM. Though, it's possible to configure
gstreamer-vaapi without DRM but Wayland support, with the enhanced
handling of dmabuf in vaapisink for Wayland, vaapisink will always
fail. Given both issues, configuration with no DRM but Wayland, makes
things more complex, and a simpler approach is to refuse that
configuration.
This patch disables Wayland support if there isn't DRM support. Also,
it disables the display test for Wayland, relying only on DRM and
X11.
vaapi: libs: video-format: Check if formats map is not NULL.
Formats map is instantiated at the end of the display
instantiation. The problem is the Wayland display which looks for a
format in a callback, before the map is populated.
If user compiles gstreamer-vaapi with DRM support, the map is
populated with a DRM display at GStreamer plugin registration. But if
not, or a VA driver is not available, the plugin will try with a
Wayland driver, which cause the NULL de-reference.
Nevertheless, in the case of no DRM support, and if the Wayland
display doesn't get a reply from the format conversion is not a
problem.
So the solution is the trivial one, check if the format map is already
populated before de-reference it.
vaapidecode is used in vaapidecodebin and it exposes all the
theoretically supported caps, but that slows down autoplug. With this
autplug is negotiated faster, giving more option to decodebin to select
other decoder.

gst: don't use volatile to mean atomic
volatile is not sufficient to provide atomic guarantees and real atomics
should be used instead. GCC 11 has started warning about using volatile
with atomic operations.
