vp9 decoder: row-based multi-threaded loopfilter Implemented parallel loopfiltering, which uses existing tile- decoding threads. Each thread works on one row, and when that row is loopfiltered, it moves to next unattended row. To ensure the correct filtering order, threads are synchronized and one superblock is filtered only if the superblocks it depends on are filtered already. To reduce synchronization overhead and speed up the decoder, we use nsync > 1 for high resolution. Performance tests: 1. on desktop: 8-tile 4k video using 8 threads, speedup: 70% - 80% 4-tile HD video using 4 threads, speedup: ~35% 2. on mobile device(Nexus 7): 4-tile 1080p video using 4 threads, speedup: 18% - 25% 4-tile 1080p video using 2 threads, speedup: 10% - 15% Change-Id: If54b4a11960dd706c22d5ad145ad94156031f36a
