Fix unsafe optimization of record test
beam_record would make an unsafe optimization for the
not_used_p/4 function added to beam_utils_SUITE in this
commit. The bug is in beam_utils, which would falsely
report that {x,4} was unused when it in fact was used.
The bug was in the function not_used/1. The purpose of
not_used/1 is to return a 'not_used' result unless the
actual result is 'used'. Unfortunately it was not
implemented in that way. It would let a 'transparent'
result slip through, which the caller in this case would
convert to 'killed' (because the register was killed on
all other paths).
