[llvm][amdgpu] Handle indirect refs to LDS GVs during LDS lowering (#124089)
Fixes #123800
Extends LDS lowering by allowing it to discover transitive
indirect/escpaing references to LDS GVs.
For example, given the following input:
```llvm
@lds_item_to_indirectly_load = internal addrspace(3) global ptr undef, align 8
%store_type = type { i32, ptr }
@place_to_store_indirect_caller = internal addrspace(3) global %store_type undef, align 8
define amdgpu_kernel void @offloading_kernel() {
store ptr @indirectly_load_lds, ptr addrspace(3) getelementptr inbounds nuw (i8, ptr addrspace(3) @place_to_store_indirect_caller, i32 0), align 8
call void @call_unknown()
ret void
}
define void @call_unknown() {
%1 = alloca ptr, align 8
%2 = call i32 %1()
ret void
}
define void @indirectly_load_lds() {
call void @directly_load_lds()
ret void
}
define void @directly_load_lds() {
%2 = load ptr, ptr addrspace(3) @lds_item_to_indirectly_load, align 8
ret void
}
```
With the above input, prior to this patch, LDS lowering failed to lower
the reference to `@lds_item_to_indirectly_load` because:
1. it is indirectly called by a function whose address is taken in the
kernel.
2. we did not check if the kernel indirectly makes any calls to unknown
functions (we only checked the direct calls).

This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.
Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
