Do you have any proof that this actually helps?  The deref_path stuff was
designed to be put on the stack and absolutely as efficient as possible.
In the common case of a deref chain with only a couple of elements, I would
expect to actually be more work to look it up in a hash table.

It wouldn't hurt to add a case for call instructions which does a barrier
on everything I mentioned below as well as globals and locals.

The only thing a barrier like this affects is shared, storage, and output.
Locals and globals can't cross between shader channels so there's no reason
to do anything with them on a barrier.  For inputs and uniforms, they're
never written anyway so there's no point in doing anything with them on a
barrier.

Just pass nir_var_shader_out in here; no reason to make a temporary
variable.

I'd put the metadata stuff in the _impl version in case we ever want to
expose it for use directly.
