vc4: Drop destination register when it's unused.

This slightly reduces instructions on shader-db, but I think it's just
perturbing register allocation -- the allocator should have always
trivially colored these nodes, before.  This commit is just to make QIR
code failing more intelligible when register allocation fails.
