nir/gcm: fix pushing instructions into if blocks

Timothy Arceri requested to merge tarceri/mesa:fix_gcm into main

The previous logic would just set the block to the instructions original location if we couldn't evict it from a loop.

For now we only push const loads to a later block inside ifs but we can add more heuristics later. This change helps a hand full of shaders but also stops a CTS regression caused by excess spilling after a series I'm working on to disables more of the GLSL IR optimisation passes.
