Reading frames from VideoReader freezes eventually

🐛 Describe the bug

The problem only occurs under some specific conditions:

1. The video backend is 'video_reader'
2. The VideoReader object is initialized with raw bytes rather than a path string
3. This byte buffer is loaded from an avi video file

Example code:

from torchvision.io import VideoReader
torchvision.set_video_backend('video_reader')
with open('/path/to/video.avi', 'rb') as fp:
    data = fp.read()
reader = VideoReader(data)
frames = []
# this loop stops freezes after a while (usually towards the end of the video)
for data in reader:
    frames.append(frame['data'])

Start by reproducing the minimal example with torchvision.io.VideoReader, the video_reader backend, and raw bytes from an AVI file. Trace the VideoReader iteration path to identify why reading eventually freezes; done means the loop completes for this input without freezing, with a regression test covering the reported conditions.
