ExoPlaybackException, codec init failure

[sssprog]

Issue description

ExoPlaybackException. Issue happens on Huawei P10 lite with android 8.0. Device name HWWAS-H. Model name WAS-LX1. Code name passed to codecNeedsSetOutputSurfaceWorkaround is OMX.IMG.MSVDX.Decoder.AVC

When we return true in codecNeedsSetOutputSurfaceWorkaround for this device no exception happens.

I guess this device needs the workaround.

Reproduction steps

We have SimpleExoPlayer and PlayerView in an activity. On first activity launch video is played normally. If activity is paused, than resumed we get exception. In onPause we release player and in onResume create new instance of SimpleExoPlayer.
