This function, pre-patch and post-patch, does not inspect the format for
a depth component.  It checks if the depth usage flag is set. That's the
key difference.

On gen6, it's possible to create a usable surface with format
X24_TYPELESS_G8_UINT with ISL_SURF_USAGE_STENCIL_BIT and no depth bit.
And, if I understand this patch correctly, that surface does not satisfy
the depth check in this patch:

    if (isl_surf_usage_is_depth(info->usage)) {
       /* depth buffer (possibly interleaved with stencil) */
       *image_align_el = isl_extent3d(4, 4, 1);
       return;
    }

Instead, that surface eventually hits this at the bottom of the
function:

       *image_align_el = isl_extent3d(4, 2, 1);

Of course, such a surface is only usable as a stencil buffer if hiz is
disabled. So we'll probably never observe such a surface in real life.
But we should at least assert that's the case.
