 Fix used-variable calculation (Trac #12548)

 The used-variable calculation for pattern synonyms is a little
 tricky, for reasons described in RnBinds
 Note [Pattern synonym builders don't yield dependencies]

 It was right semantically, but the "unused-variable warning" was
 wrong, which led to Trac #12548.
