Subject: [PATCH] Set force_mv_inter_layer earlier in skip_inter_mode

For nonrd_pickmode: move the setting of
force_mv_inter_layer earlier in the
skip_inter_mode_nonrd(), to make sure it always
get set (in case of false return in that function).

Thie prevents the usage of a scaled_ref in pickmode
(combined_motion search) when it has actually not been
set/scaled in av1_scale_references (before encoding).

Fixes a crash for use after free (UAF), reported
in the issues below.

Added svc unittest to generate the issue. Also added
assert check for scaled_ref in combined_motion_search.

Bug: 495477995, 495996858
