LOG: [libclc] Use unchecked division for f64 AMDGPU reciprocal (#203809)

Summary:
This matches what the AMD device libraries does. We can avoid extra
steps by only performing the two steps of the Newton-Raphson
approximation of 1 / x. The exceptional cases should not appear in these
math functions, this is local to AMDGPU, and I verified they are bitwise
identical to the AMD math functions with parity in performance now.
