Use avfilter_graph_alloc() instead of av_mallocz(sizeof(AVFilterGraph))
to allocate an AVFilterGraph; this also properly allocates the graph's
internal. The current code just happened to work because it did not
make any use of said internal.

Also check the allocation; this fixes Coverity #1292528.

I really prefer initializing all values to something known instead of
whatever used to be in that memory block before (if calling the
initializer is possible, right away - otherwise a temporary failure
value such as nullptr), but I know we differ in opinion regarding
this, so let's not go further on this :)

LGTM.

I fulfilled your wish; but only because the compiler can optimize it away.
