Jingyue Wu ef056a9111 [NVPTXFavorNonGenericAddrSpaces] recursively trace into GEP and BitCast
Summary:
This patch allows NVPTXFavorNonGenericAddrSpaces to remove addrspacecast
from longer chains consisting of GEPs and BitCasts. For example, it can
now optimize

  %0 = addrspacecast [10 x float] addrspace(3)* @a to [10 x float]*
  %1 = gep [10 x float]* %0, i64 0, i64 %i
  %2 = bitcast float* %1 to i32*
  %3 = load i32* %2 ; emits ld.u32

to

  %0 = gep [10 x float] addrspace(3)* @a, i64 0, i64 %i
  %1 = bitcast float addrspace(3)* %0 to i32 addrspace(3)*
  %3 = load i32 addrspace(3)* %1 ; emits ld.shared.f32

Test Plan: @ld_int_from_global_float in access-non-generic.ll
