[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 05/11] nir: Separate dead write removal into its own pass

Instead of doing this as part of the existing copy_prop_vars pass.
Separation makes easier to expand the scope of both passes to be more
than per-block. For copy propagation, the information about valid
copies comes from previous instructions; while the dead write removal
depends on information from later instructions ("have any instruction
used this deref before overwrite it?").
Also change the tests to use this pass (instead of copy prop vars).
Note that the disabled tests continue to fail, since the standalone
pass is still per-block.
v2: Remove entries from dynarray instead of marking items as
deleted. Use foreach_reverse. (Caio)
(all from Jason)
Do not cache nir_deref_path. Not worthy for this patch.
Clear unused writes when hitting a call instruction.
Clean up enumeration of modes for barriers.
Move metadata calls to the inner function.

+ * Elimination of dead writes based on derefs.
+ *
+ * Dead writes are stores and copies that write to a deref, which then gets
+ * another write before it was used (read or sourced for a copy). Those
+ * writes can be removed since they don't affect anything.
+ *
+ * For derefs that refer to a memory area that can be read after the program,
+ * the last write is considered used. The presence of certain instructions
+ * may also cause writes to be considered used, e.g. memory barrier (in this case
+ * the value must be written as other thread might use it).
+ *
+ * The write mask for store instructions is considered, so it is possible that
+ * a store is removed because of the combination of other stores overwritten
+ * its value.
