Subject: [PATCH V2] venus: fix multiple encoder crash

Currently we are considering the instances which are available
in core->inst list for load calculation in min_loaded_core()
function, but this is incorrect because by the time we call
decide_core() for second instance, the third instance not
filled yet codec_freq_data pointer.

Solve this by considering the instances whose session has started.

This fixes the same crash I reported here:

https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200601150314.RFC.1.I1e40623bbe8fa43ff1415fc273cba66503b9b048@changeid

Thus:

Fixes: eff82f79c562 ("media: venus: introduce core selection")
Tested-by: Douglas Anderson <[email protected]>

I still have the same reservations I expressed in the patch I posed
about whether this is truly safe from a locking point of view, but
certainly it puts us in a better state than we are today.
