InstancedMesh shadows are wrong

See original GitHub issue

Description of the problem

InstancedMesh shadows don’t show up correctly. It seems only one instance shadow is rendered always at the origin.

This online experiment shows the bug. Please look at the center of the tower to see the instance shadow: https://yomboprime.github.io/instancedBricks/examples/instancedBricks.html
