Pushing a unary operation, like fneg, into the operation that generates
its operand allows the fsat to be applied to the inner instruction
instead of on a separate instruction that performs the unary operation.
This changes
fmul ssa_100, ssa_99, ssa_98
fmov.sat ssa_101, -ssa_100
into
fmul.sat ssa_100, -ssa_99, ssa_98
