[Mesa-dev] [PATCH] intel: compiler: remove dead local variables at optimization pass

[Lionel Landwerlin]

We're hitting an assert in gfxbench because one of the local variable
is a sampler (according to Jason this isn't valid) :

testfw_app: ../src/compiler/nir_types.cpp:551: void glsl_get_natural_size_align_bytes(const glsl_type*, unsigned int*, unsigned int*): Assertion `!"type does not have a natural size"' failed.

Since this particular variable isn't used and it can be eliminated by
removing unused local variables in the optimization pass. This makes
sense also for valid local variables.
