Before this patch, ray traversal kernels always pushed only the node ID to stack, not the distance to that node.
Doing so means that sometimes subtrees (and leaves) get traversed because they got pushed to the stack at a time when the ray didn't have a closer hit yet, but wouldn't have if the ray had been known to be shorter. This fixes this.
