+Subject: Brightsign: guard against late player callbacks racing teardown
+ OS-21183
+
+HTMLMediaElement::DurationChanged() and
+WebMediaPlayerBrightsign::OnDemuxInitialized() could both be invoked
+after the underlying media player had begun (but not fully completed)
+teardown, causing renderer crashes.
+
+- HTMLMediaElement::DurationChanged() hit
+  CHECK(web_media_player_) when a WebMediaPlayer implementation
+  posted a late duration-changed notification after
+  web_media_player_ had already been reset/moved out during
+  ClearMediaPlayerAndAudioSourceProviderClientWithoutLocking().
+  Replace the CHECK with a null guard that logs and returns early,
+  since ignoring a stale duration update from a player that is
+  already gone is safe.
+
+- WebMediaPlayerBrightsign::OnDemuxInitialized() dereferenced
+  demuxer_ unconditionally. Shutdown() moves demuxer_ into
+  DemuxerDestructionHelper() for async destruction on
+  media_task_runner_, but the WebMediaPlayerBrightsign instance
+  itself is only destroyed later via main_task_runner_ DeleteSoon.
+  A previously queued OnDemuxInitialized callback (bound via
+  weak_this_, which is still valid at this point) can therefore
+  run on the main thread after demuxer_ has been moved out,
+  dereferencing a null unique_ptr and crashing at
+  demuxer_->GetAllStreams(). Add a null check that logs and
+  returns early to ignore the stale callback.
