[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 3/5] glsl: Make ir_dereference_record constructor assert the variable exists.

[Kenneth Graunke]

Providing a NULL pointer to the ir_dereference_record() constructor
seems like a bad idea.  Currently, if provided NULL, it returns a
partially constructed value of error type.  However, none of the callers
are prepared to handle that scenario.

Code inspection shows that all callers do one of the following:
- Already NULL-check the argument prior to creating the dereference
- Already deference the argument (and thus would crash if it were NULL)
- Newly allocate the argument.

Thus, it should be safe to simply assert the value passed is not NULL.
This should also catch issues right away, rather than dying later.
