[Mesa-dev] [PATCH v2 2/2] anv/pipeline: don't pass constant view index in multiview

If view mask has only one bit set, view index is effectively a
constant, so doesn't need to be passed to the next stages, just always
set it.

Part of this was in the original patch that added
anv_nir_lower_multiview.c but disabled.

v2: Fixed comment style.
