st/nir: Call nir_remove_unused_variables() in the opt loop

This prevents regressions when disabling indirect lowering. Sometimes
the only use of an input array was copying it to the array created by
nir_lower_io_to_temporaries, and without lowering indirects we wouldn't
have eliminated the temporary array until after linking, which was too
late to remove unused code in the producer.

No shader-db changes with radeonsi NIR.
