In 00f4e61 we attempted to share the filepaths in GHC's usage field.

Unfortunately the `mi_usages` is evaluated by `checkOldIface` before we have a chance to do the sharing,
resulting in them not actually being shared on the first load.

Solution is to share the usages before `checkOldIface` has a chance to inspect them, breaking the sharing.
