Some of the lowering passes, nir_lower_locals_to_regs for example, can
cause some previously live code to be dead. This pass in particular
leaves a bunch of nir_instr_type_deref instructions floating around.
This causes shader-db runs on Gen5 through Haswell to spew tons of
messages like:
VS instruction not yet implemented by NIR->vec4
UnrealEngine4/EffectsCaveDemo/239.shader_test is one shader that
generates these messages. Cleaning up the dead code fixes that.
To verify, I did a shader-db before and after. Even though all the
messages are gone, the results make my brain hurt. :(
