[NVPTX] kernel pointer arguments point to the global address space
Summary:
With this patch, NVPTXLowerKernelArgs converts a kernel pointer argument to a
pointer in the global address space. This change, along with
NVPTXFavorNonGenericAddrSpaces, allows the NVPTX backend to emit ld.global.*
and st.global.* for accessing kernel pointer arguments.
Minor changes:
1. refactor: extract function convertToPointerInAddrSpace
2. fix a bug in the test case in bug21465.ll
Test Plan: lower-kernel-ptr-arg.ll
