MAHOUT-2051 [WIP] Fix IllegalStateException in MixedGradient.java
### Purpose of PR:
After initialization of a MixedGradient instance both variables "hasZero"
and "hasOne" are false, which leads to an IllegalStateException in the function
"apply" if random.nextDouble() < alpha.
The proposed change would avoid this by using only the base gradient until
both cases (actual == 0 and actual == 1) occured at least once.
