This patch resolves intel#19409 Two main changes were done: 1. Corrected method of detection that kernel is defined as an inline function. The original code detecting this was introduced in intel#338, but by some reason we looked into a headers-provided wrapper that calls a kernel instead of a kernel itself. Alongside with fixing this, a dedicated clang-level test was added to check this behavior 2. Fixed a bug introduced by incorrect conflict resolution (commit fcd95a9) with llvm/llvm-project#137882. Specifically, when deciding if a function (that is expected to be a SYCL kernel) linkage should be promoted to non-discardable we used to check for OpenCL kernel attribute. That attribute is not present in SYCL headers and therefore was only generated for actual SYCL kernels emitted by front-end. However, with kernel attributes unified, we now promote linkage of non-kernel wrapper function that has `sycl_kernel` attribute attached to it explicitly by SYCL headers. The fix here is to only react to the kernel attribute if it was added implicitly, to preserve original behavior.

Lol sorry about all the problems caused from unifying the attributes, I originally just wanted to add a new attribute for SPIR kernels but upstream suggested I unify them all, thanks for fixing this

To be fair, this whole thing with fixing-up the linkage is also a little bit weird, so no worries :)

This patch resolves #19409
Two main changes were done:
Corrected method of detection that kernel is defined as an inline function. The original code detecting this was introduced in [SYCL] Allow an inlined kernel to be called from multiple TUs. #338, but by some reason we looked into a headers-provided wrapper that calls a kernel instead of a kernel itself. Alongside with fixing this, a dedicated clang-level test was added to check this behavior
Fixed a bug introduced by incorrect conflict resolution (commit fcd95a9) with [clang] Simplify device kernel attributes llvm/llvm-project#137882. Specifically, when deciding if a function (that is expected to be a SYCL kernel) linkage should be promoted to non-discardable we used to check for OpenCL kernel attribute. That attribute is not present in SYCL headers and therefore was only generated for actual SYCL kernels emitted by front-end. However, with kernel attributes unified, we now promote linkage of non-kernel wrapper function that has
sycl_kernelattribute attached to it explicitly by SYCL headers. The fix here is to only react to the kernel attribute if it was added implicitly, to preserve original behavior.
