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.

v2: Move additional local variable removal out of optimization loop,
    but before large constant removal (Jason/Lionel)
