Right, it should be detected by the Validation Layers. However it is
arguable what to do in the driver's side. We can just keep it as it is
now, ignore inline uniform block updates (this patch) or even add an
assert if it affects stability of the HW (it is not the case here, we
tested it). I think ignoring the updates it's the best option, but I am
OK with what RADV developers prefer to do.
