Subject: [PATCH 1/2] LAA: scale strides using type-size

Change getDependenceDistanceStrideAndSize to scale strides by
TypeByteSize, scaling the returned CommonStride and MaxStride. We now
correctly detect that there is indeed a common stride, when we failed to
previously due to differing type sizes.
