[llvm] [VPlan] Remove internal linkage from findUserOf templates (NFC) (PR #202974)

[Aditya Medhane via llvm-commits]

https://github.com/flash1729 created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/202974

The `findUserOf` function templates are `static` in a header, so every translation unit that includes it gets its own internal-linkage copy. That's a latent ODR hazard, and it trips `-Wunused-template` in TUs that don't instantiate them. Dropping `static` gives them external linkage (templates are implicitly inline, so nothing else changes).

NFC: linkage-only change.

Part of #202945.

Subject: [PATCH] [VPlan] Remove internal linkage from findUserOf templates
 (NFC)

The `findUserOf` function templates are `static` in a header, so every
translation unit that includes it gets its own internal-linkage copy. That's a
latent ODR hazard, and it trips `-Wunused-template` in TUs that don't
instantiate them. Dropping `static` gives them external linkage (templates are
implicitly inline, so nothing else changes).

NFC: linkage-only change.

Part of #202945.
