[CUDA] Change initializer for CUDA device code based on CUDA documentation.
Summary: According to CUDA documentation, global variables declared with __device__, __constant__ can be initialized from host code, so mark them as externally initialized. Because __shared__ variables cannot have an initialization as part of their declaration and since the value maybe kept across different kernel invocation, the value of __shared__ is effectively undefined instead of zero initialized. Wrongly using zero initializer may cause illegitimate optimization, e.g. removing unused __constant__ variable because it's not updated in the device code and the value is initialized with zero.
