This doesn't match the subject line at all!

Drop this, it's not a fix, it just attempts to make things more robust.

This won't work: if fb == NULL, then depending on whether
this function returns true or false, the code in vp9_swap_frm_bufs()
will crash in either vsi->frm_bufs[vsi->new_fb_idx].buf.fb->base_y.va
or in vp9_free_sf_ref_fb().

Unless you can show there really is a path through which fb can be NULL,
I don't think it is worth continuing with this.
