Yes, we need session flush.

This handles a corner case when the dequeued capture buffers are queued
immediately (without any processing from client) to the driver, in this
scenario the client doesn't own any buffer to enqueue to the driver and
the driver doesn't have a chance to return LAST flag.

I think that makes sense, I kept (infact moved to stop_capture) just to
be sure that the firmware doesn't hold any capture buffers before we
resume decoding with new resolution.
