Jingyue Wu c9f86c1260 [NVPTX] make load on global readonly memory to use ldg
Summary:
[NVPTX] make load on global readonly memory to use ldg

Summary:
As describe in [1], ld.global.nc may be used to load memory by nvcc when
__restrict__ is used and compiler can detect whether read-only data cache
is safe to use.

This patch will try to check whether ldg is safe to use and use them to
replace ld.global when possible. This change can improve the performance
by 18~29% on affected kernels (ratt*_kernel and rwdot*_kernel) in 
S3D benchmark of shoc [2].
