i965/vec4: Correct MUL destination hazard

As it turns out, we were over-thinking the cause of the hang on
Cherryview. It's simply errata for Cherryview.

    i965/vec4/gen8: Handle the MUL dest hazard exception

This is an explanation to why we never saw the hang on BDW.

NOTE: The problem the original patch was trying to fix does still exist. It will
have to be fixed at some point.

v2: Modify commit message, s/CHV/BDW
