avcodec/h264: remove redundant and bogus get_format call
The AVCodecContext.get_format callback is not only used for pixel format negotiation with the API user, but also for hwaccel init. For the latter, it's required that some codec parameters, in particular the codec profile, are set when the callback is invoked. This patch removes a get_format invocation where this is not guaranteed. The codec parameters, including the profile, are really set further below. (The same code path that sets the profile also calls get_format properly too.) This just happened to work by coincidence in most cases. For example, if the API user just copied or reused the AVStream's AVCodecContext when decoding, the profile would be set properly. But in some cases it fails., such as with the sample WolfensteinTwitch.mp4 on the samples server. Remove the redundant get_format call. Apparently it serves no purpose anymore, although it is possible that this was different at the time it was added in commit ffd77f94. This fixes hwaccel usage for API users which do not set the profile when setting up the AVCodecContext (which is allowed).
