[Mesa-stable] [PATCH] i965/vec4: Only zero out unused message components when there are any.

[Chris Forbes]

Thanks Ken -- I should have spotted this but was being blind.

Does the GPU generally hang if the destination writemask has all
channels disabled? That sounds like something that could be worth
sanity-checking for in the backend.

Confirmed this fixes the hangs in the textureGather vs tests.
