So, there's a "fun" aspect: if we run into
'HSA_STATUS_ERROR_OUT_OF_RESOURCES' (or other errors; and similar in the
libgomp nvptx plugin) during libgomp GCN plugin device probing, then it's
not fatal, but instead silently disables the libgomp plugin/device, thus
typically silently resorting to host-fallback execution.  That's not
helpful behavior in my opinion, so I propose the attached
"GCN, nvptx: Errors during device probing are fatal".  OK to push?

(That's also the behavior that's implemented in both the GCN and nvptx
target 'run' tools.)

Subject: [PATCH] GCN, nvptx: Errors during device probing are fatal

Currently, we silently disable libgomp GCN and nvptx plugins/devices in
presence of certain error conditions during device probing, thus typically
silently resorting to host-fallback execution.  Make such errors fatal, similar
as for any other device access later on, so that we early and reliably notice
when things go wrong.  (Keep just two cases non-fatal: (a) libgomp GCN or nvptx
plugins are available but 'libhsa-runtime64.so.1' or 'libcuda.so.1' are not,
and (b) those are available, but the corresponding devices are not.)

This resolves the issue that we've got execution test cases unexpectedly
PASSing, despite:

    libgomp: GCN fatal error: Run-time could not be initialized
    Runtime message: HSA_STATUS_ERROR_OUT_OF_RESOURCES: The runtime failed to allocate the necessary resources. This error may also occur when the core runtime library needs to spawn threads or create internal OS-specific events.

..., and therefore they were not offloaded to the GCN device, but ran in
host-fallback execution mode.  What happend in that scenario is that in
'init_hsa_context' during the initial 'GOMP_OFFLOAD_get_num_devices' we ran
into 'HSA_STATUS_ERROR_OUT_OF_RESOURCES', but it wasn't fatal, but just
silently disabled the libgomp plugin/device.

Especially "entertaining" were cases where such unintended host-fallback
execution happened during effective-target checks like
'offload_device_available' (host-fallback execution there meaning: no offload
device available), but actual test cases then were running with an offload
device available, and therefore mis-configured.

	include/
	* cuda/cuda.h (CUresult): Add 'CUDA_ERROR_NO_DEVICE'.
	libgomp/
	* plugin/plugin-gcn.c (init_hsa_context): Add and handle
	'bool probe' parameter.  Adjust all users; errors during device
	probing are fatal.
	* plugin/plugin-nvptx.c (nvptx_get_num_devices): Aside from
	'CUDA_ERROR_NO_DEVICE', errors during device probing are fatal.
