NIR metadata validation verifies that the debug bit was unset (by a call
to nir_metadata_preserve) if a NIR optimization pass made progress on
the shader. With the expectation that the NIR shader consists of only a
single main function, it has been safe to call nir_metadata_preserve()
iff progress was made.
However, most optimization passes calculate progress per-function and
then return the union of those calculations. In the case that an
optimization pass makes progress only on a subset of the functions in
the shader metadata validation will detect the debug bit is still set on
any unchanged functions resulting in a failed assertion.
This patch offers a quick solution (short of a larger scale refactoring
which I do not wish to undertake as part of this series) that simply
unsets the debug bit on unchanged functions.
