When a builtin function with generic pointer parameter is passed a pointer with address space, clang creates an overloaded builtin function but does not make it implicit. This causes error when the builtin is called by device functions since CUDA/HIP relies on the implicit attribute to treat a builtin function as callable on both host and device sides.

Fixed by making the created overloaded builtin functions implicit.

Subject: [PATCH] [CUDA][HIP] Fix implicit attribute of builtin

When a builtin function with generic pointer parameter is passed
a pointer with address space, clang creates an overloaded
builtin function but does not make it implicit. This causes
error when the builtin is called by device functions
since CUDA/HIP relies on the implicit attribute to treat
a builtin function as callable on both host and device
sides.

Fixed by making the created overloaded builtin functions implicit.
