Need to tweak the function controlling what variables can be internalized for amdgpu so that this variable gets internalized, or having a generic way to tell that function which variables should be internalized, e.g. by adding a metadata amdgcn.internalize

It seems being eliminated by IPSCCP. It makes sense since it is constant weak_odr without externally_initialized. Either changing it to weak or adding externally_initialized will keep the load. Normal `__constant__` var in device code may be changed by host code, therefore they are emitted with externally_initialized and do not have the load eliminated.
