[Mesa-stable] [PATCH] intel/compiler: do not copy-propagate strided regions to ddx/ddy arguments

The implementation of these opcodes in the generator assumes that their
arguments are packed, and it generates register regions based on that
assumption.

Although this patch hasn't landed in master yet (it is part of a larger series
that is still in review), Jason suggested to backport it to stable. I guess it
might be a good idea to land it early in master too if we are doing this
though.
