No video output with d3d11va decoder when requesting d3d11vpp and mpv falls back to software decoding

mpv version and platform

mpv 0.27.0-473-gd7a02bcb3b (C) 2000-2017 mpv/MPlayer/mplayer2 projects built on Sat Dec 2 23:26:19 CET 2017 with media autobuild suite with shaderc and crossc manually installed (this very precious script is a bit outdated)

Reproduction steps

Try to play a video with d3d11va hardware decoding, d3d11ra renderer (thanks for having added support for it) and d3d11vpp deinterlacing: if hardware decoding is not possible, for example if the codec/format is not supported by the GPU, mpv falls back to software decoding, but there is no video, as the insertion of the d3d11vpp filter breaks the chain. Ex: mpv.exe --hwdec=d3d11va --vo=gpu --gpu-context=d3d11 --gpu-api=d3d11 --vf-add=d3d11vpp=deint=yes:interlaced-only=yes "video" where "video" cannot be hardware decoded (for example a VP9 10 bit on a GTX 1080) Without the d3d11vpp parameter in the command line, video works fine (so it has nothing to see with vp9 support and ffmpeg-mpv stuff).

Same behaviour if you try the same options on any video while asking for software decoding. Ex: mpv.exe --hwdec=none --vo=gpu --gpu-context=d3d11 --gpu-api=d3d11 --vf-add=d3d11vpp=deint=yes:interlaced-only=yes "video" whatever "video" is

Expected behavior

mpv should not only falls back to software decoding (or directly use software decoding if asked in options), but also discard the d3d11vpp filter as it needs d3d11va decoding Otherwise, it means you cannot let the d3d11vpp deinterlace filter in you config file permanently, because it breaks the playing of hardware decoding incompatible videos, and you manually have to add it each time you play an interlaced video that can be decoded with your GPU. So, it would be very useful if a test could be made before attempting to apply the d3d11vpp filter, checking if d3d11va decoding is in use or not. Thanks in advance if it can easily me made.

Actual behavior

mpv keeps the d3d11vpp filter in the video chain, cannot initialize it, and uninit video.
