Summary

Apart from the argument registers, set the CostPerUse
value as per the ratio reg_index/allocation_granularity.
It is a pre-commit for introducing the scratch registers
in the ABI. This change should help in a balanced
register allocation.

The patch has caused vgpr count to go up significantly in real-world graphics content. Agreed with @cdevadas to revert for now.
