The result of the last check in code like

if (p)
    foo
else
    p = av_mallocz(sizeof(*p));

if (p->ptr)
    bar
else
    bar2

is known in advance if the else branch of the first check was taken
because av_mallocz() returns zeroed buffers. Therefore the above snippet
can be simplified by moving the check and bar into the foo block.

I think I like the current version better. I had to read three times
before I noticed the "continue" that guarantees the last three lines
will not overwrite an existing filter. That means somebody could add a
line there, expecting it to be valid for both cases.

There is probably more simplification to be gained by reworking the
whole logic into a more modular structure, but that is a task for later.
