   For buffers with more than one physical axis, the `axis_separators` are 
required in order to know which groups of logical axes to fuse into each 
physical axis.  The implementation in `tir.FlattenBuffer` assumed that all 
buffers were being flattened to a single physical axis.  Because 
`tir.LowerOpaqueBlock` replaces the `BlockNode::alloc_buffers` with `Allocate` 
nodes, `tir.FlattenBuffer` no longer has access to the axis separators and 
performs inconsistent flattening for `Allocate` as opposed to 
`BufferLoad`/`BufferStore`.  This was introduced in 
https://github.com/apache/tvm/pull/12172, which decoupled the 
lowering/flattening steps.
   
   The commit reorders the `tir.FlattenBuffer` to occur before 
`tir.LowerOpaqueBlock`, to make use of the axis separators.  Any `Allocate` 
nodes that exist at that point (e.g. from hand-written schedules) are still 
flattened to 1-d physical buffers, but the `BlockNode::alloc_buffers` are 
flattened according to the axis separators.
