// _amp_non_finite_check_and_unscale_cuda_'s gpu_kernel lambda.
//
// isfinite_ensure_cuda_math is defined outside at::native because:
// - A bare call to "isfinite(val)" inside at::native causes nvcc to prefer the unrelated
//   Tensor at::native::isfinite(const Tensor&), resulting in an error:
//   "no suitable constructor exists to convert from "float" to "at::Tensor""
// - Unfortunately, the Cuda math library documentation doesn't say how (or if) you can provide a full namespace path
//   to ensure that its version of a particular function is invoked.  It only shows bare (not-namespaced)
//   calls to its routines inside kernel or device functions.
// - "std::isfinite(val)" in the gpu_kernel lambda causes an "unspecified launch failure" at runtime with cuda 9 on Windows.
//
// isfinite_ensure_cuda_math, declared at file scope outside the at::native region, uses isfinite as math library docs
// suggest and allows disambiguated usage in the lambda within the at::native region.
// GPU_LAMBDA is defined as __host__ __device__ (see Loops.cuh), so I need the __host__ keyword or else nvcc complains that
