[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] avformat/cache: Avoid int-overflow in cache compare function

cache protocol indexes its cache using AVTreeNodes which require a cmp
function for inserting and searching new cache-entries. This cmp
function expects a 32-bit int return value (negative, zero, or positive)
but the cache cmp function returns an int64_t which can overflow the
int, giving negative numbers for when it should be positive, vice versa.
This manifests itself only for very large files (e.g. 4GB+)
