  Log Message:
  -----------
  [Pipelines] Introduce DAE after ArgumentPromotion

The ArgumentPromotion pass uses Mem2Reg promotion at the end to cutting
down generated `alloca` instructions as well as meaningless `store`s and
this behavior can leave unused (dead) arguments. To eliminate the dead
arguments and therefore let the DeadCodeElimination remove becoming dead
inserted `GEP`s as well as `load`s and `cast`s in the callers, the
DeadArgumentElimination pass should be run after the ArgumentPromotion
one.
