Bug#742336: libva-drm1: does not work in threaded programs

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

Package: libva-drm1
Version: 1.2.1-2
Severity: important
Tags: upstream patch

Dear Maintainer,

The libva-drm1 library is mostly unusable in multithreaded program since the
built-in DRM authentication code mixes up the process ID with the thread ID.
Effectively, vaGetDisplayDRM() only works from the process main() thread.

This bug has already been fixed upstream for many months:

    drm: improve check for authentication.
    
    On Linux systems, the drmGetClient() function would return the thread ID
    instead of the actual process ID.
