Since commit 8b8af6d398 there is a
performance regression in dirt 4 on picasso APUs.
The game ends up feeding a large value into this which overflows on the
conversion to 16bit float. With the old implementation (which now lives
in util_float_to_half_rtz) it would be clamped to inf-1, while the new
one returns inf. This causes a performance hit somehow at some point
down the line.
