This is useful when we face certain intrinsics such as `llvm.exp.*`
which cannot be lowered by the NVPTX backend while other intrinsics can.
So, we would need to keep blacklists of intrinsics that cannot be
handled by the NVPTX backend. It is much simpler to try and promote
all intrinsics to libdevice versions.
This patch makes function/intrinsic very uniform, and will always try to use
a libdevice version if it exists.

- In D33414, if any function call was found within a kernel, we would bail out.
- This is an over-approximation. This patch changes this by allowing the
`llvm.sqrt.*` family of intrinsics.
- This introduces an additional step when creating a separate llvm::Module
for a kernel (GPUModule). We now copy function declarations from the
original module to new module.
- We also populate IslNodeBuilder::ValueMap so it replaces the function
references to the old module to the ones in the new module
(GPUModule).
