In general we should only call it once, and then we should avoid to
call any lowering that introduce back copies. So far we were tracking
that manually out of the nir shader on several places.
Ideally we would like to add a nir_validate rule, but right now there
are some exceptions to this rule. For example right now the Intel
compiler calls nir_lower_io_to_temporaries as part of linking
tess_ctrl/mesh/task sahders.
One option would be to allow drivers to reset the value, but for now
let's not add that validation rule.
