vulkan : mul_mat: fix UB with small warps (ggml/952)

When the device's warp size is less than 16,
it is possible for loadstride_a (mul_mm.comp:114)
and loadstride_b (mul_mm.comp:115) to be set to 0.
Because they are calculated as: the workgroup size,
multiplied by LOAD_VEC_* (which can be 1) and divided by 16.
And the workgroup size is set to be the same as the
warp/subgroup size.

The loadstride_* variables are used as increments in the
loops that populate the buffers used for the multiplication.

When they are 0 they cause an infinite loop.
But infinite loops without side-effects are UB and the
values of loadstride_* are known at compile time.
So, the compiler quietly optimizes all the loops away.
As a consequence, the buffers are not populated and
the multiplication result is just a matrix with all elements
set to 0.

We prevent the UB by making sure that the workgroup size
will never be less than 16, even if our device has a
smaller warp size (e.g. 8).
