Delete dead loads in the dag. This allows us to compile

vector.ll:test_extract_elt2 into:

_test_extract_elt2:
        lfd f1, 32(r3)
        blr

instead of:

_test_extract_elt2:
        lfd f0, 56(r3)
        lfd f0, 48(r3)
        lfd f0, 40(r3)
        lfd f1, 32(r3)
        lfd f0, 24(r3)
        lfd f0, 16(r3)
        lfd f0, 8(r3)
        lfd f0, 0(r3)
        blr
