[Mesa-dev] [PATCH v2] gk104/ir: fix tex use generation to be more careful about eliding uses

If we have a loop, instructions before the tex might be added as tex
uses, and those may in fact dominate all other uses of the tex results.
This however doesn't mean that we don't need a texbar after the tex.
Only check if uses dominate each other they are dominated by the tex.
