#4401: Functional dependencies regression

Testcase:
{{{
{-# LANGUAGE FlexibleInstances, UndecidableInstances,
MultiParamTypeClasses, FunctionalDependencies #-}
module Foo where
class Mul x y z | x y -> z
class IsType a
class IsType a => IsSized a s | a -> s
data Array n a = Array
instance IsSized a s => IsType (Array n a)
instance (IsSized a s, Mul n s ns) => IsSized (Array n a) ns
}}}
ghc-7.0.0.20101014 rejects this with:
{{{
Couldn't match type `s' with `s1'
because this skolem type variable would escape: `s1'
This skolem is bound by the instance declaration
In the instance declaration for `IsSized (Array n a) ns'
}}}
ghc-7.0.0.20101005 and all previous versions accept it. This is from the
llvm package, so is fairly critical.
