Summary:
For example, in
struct S {
int *x;
int *y;
};
__global__ void foo(S s) {
int *b = s.y;
// use b
}
"b" is guaranteed to point to global. NVPTX should emit ld.global/st.global for
accessing "b".

Summary:
Some front ends make kernel pointers global already. In that case,
handlePointerParams does nothing.
Test Plan: more tests in lower-kernel-ptr-arg.ll

NVPTXISelDAGToDAG translates "addrspacecast to param" to
NVPTX::nvvm_ptr_gen_to_param
Added an llc test in bug21465.

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
