reference to __host__ function 'free'/'malloc' in __host__ __device__ function

Compiling a HIP program shows the following errors. Thanks for your suggestion.

@jinz2014 Thanks for reporting the issue. It is known to our team and we will follow up on it.

I didn't know the issue until migrating CUDA sources and building the HIP codes. If the CUDA sources are needed for your test, please let me know.

@jinz2014 If you have a reproducer you can share, we will include it in our testing.

In the example,

https://github.com/zjin-lcf/HeCBench/tree/master/src/logic-rewrite-hip

Type "make" may reproduce the error.

Fixed in LLVM and works in latest ROCm

[jinz2014]

Is the latest ROCm available ? Thanks.
