GC Alloc when using Graphics.RenderMeshInstanced
Reproduction steps:
1. Open the attached project "RenderMeshInstanced_ArgumentException"
2. Open "SampleScene"
3. Enable Deep Profile in the Profiler window
4. Enter Play mode, wait for the grass to load in the Game view
5. Select a frame in the CPU Usage module of the Profiler window
6. Sort by GC Alloc
Expected result: there is no GC Alloc
Actual result: there is 89.4 KB of GC Alloc under PlayerLoop>Update.ScriptRunBehaviourUpdate>BehaviourUpdate>GrassGPUInstancing.Update>Graphics.RenclerMeshInslanced>RenderInstancedDataLayout..ctor>Marshal.OffsetOf
Reproducible with: 2021.3.22f1, 2022.2.12f1, 2023.1.0b9, 2023.2.0a9
Could not test with: 2020.3.46f1 (compilation errors)
Reproducible on: macOS 13.2.1 (Intel), Windows 11 (user's)
Workaround: also using "if (!(t == typeof (Matrix4x4)))" for "prevObjectToWorld" and "renderingLayerMask" as it is already done for "objectToWorld"
