Short description of error

Ashikhmin-Shirley distribution of glossy shader at 0 roughness causes artifacts when background uses MIS. The artifacts look different depending on the device used (CPU or GPU) and depending on the kind of render (viewport or real render using F12).

Render GPU: http://www.pasteall.org/pic/85747
Render CPU: http://www.pasteall.org/pic/85748

Viewport GPU: http://www.pasteall.org/pic/85745
Viewport CPU: http://www.pasteall.org/pic/85746

Note: I know that for roughness 0 a glossy shader should be set to sharp and that MIS is bad when the background has just simple gradients, but setups like this happen sometimes...

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Open attached .blend: ashik.rough0.mis.bug.blend
Set viewport to rendered
Try both CPU and GPU
Try rendering
Changing distribution on glossy shader, increasing roughness on glossy shader, turning off MIS on world all solve the problem
