[Mesa-stable] [PATCH] nir: Do not use progress for unreachable code in return lowering.

We seems to use progress for two cases:
1) When we lowered some returns.
2) When we remove unreachable code.

If just case 2 happens we assert as state->return_flag has not
been allocated yet, but we are still trying to do insert all
predicates based on it.

This splits the concerns. We only use progress internally for case 1
and then keep track of 2 in a separate variable to indicate progress
in the return value of the pass.

This is slightly better than transforming the assert into
if (!state->return_flag) return, as it avoids inserting predicates
even if some other part of the code might need them.

Fixes: 6e22ad6edc "nir: return early when lowering a return at the end of a function"
