[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 7/7] glsl: don't sort varying in separate shader mode

[Timothy Arceri]

From: Gregory Hainaut <gregory.hainaut at gmail.com>

This fixes an issue where the addition of the FLAT qualifier in
varying_matches::record() can break the expected varying order.

It also avoids a future issue with the relaxing of interpolation
qualifier matching constraints in GLSL 4.50.
