low_power mode will use a fixed HW engine (SFC), thus can offload EU usage.
high quality mode will take EU usage (AVS sampler).
Performance and EU usage (Render usage) comparsion on Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1225 v5 @ 3.30GHz:
High quality mode : ffmpeg -hwaccel qsv -c:v h264_qsv -i bbb_sunflower_1080p_30fps_normal_2000frames.h264 \
-vf scale_qsv=w=1280:h=736:mode=hq -f null -
fps=389
RENDER usage: 28.10 (provided by MSDK metrics_monitor)
Low Power mode: ffmpeg -hwaccel qsv -c:v h264_qsv -i ~/bbb_sunflower_1080p_30fps_normal_2000frames.h264 \
-vf scale_qsv=w=1280:h=736:mode=low_power -f null -
fps=343
RENDER usage: 0.00
Low power mode (SFC) may be disabled if not supported by
MSDK/Driver/HW, and replaced by AVS mode interanlly.

Solve some issues found by an automated code scansion.
Suppress the complain "variables 'handle' is used but maybe
uninitialized".

lavfi: Use ff_get_video_buffer in all filters using hwframes
vf_hwupload_cuda: Fix build error

Also adds a new flag to mark filters which are aware of hwframes and
will perform this task themselves, and marks all appropriate filters
with this flag.
This is required to allow software-mapped hardware frames to work,
because we need to have the frames context available for any later
mapping operation in the filter graph.
The output from the filter graph should only propagate further to an
encoder if the hardware format actually matches the visible format
(mapped frames are valid here and have an hw_frames_ctx, but this
should not be given to the encoder as its hardware context).
