Remove the user-count threshold when analyzing read attributes

Summary:
This threshold limited FunctionAttrs ability to prove arguments to be read-only. 
In NVPTX, a specialized instruction ld.global.nc can be used to load memory
with non-coherent texture cache. We notice that in SHOC [1] benchmark, some
function arguments are not marked with readonly because FunctionAttrs reaches
a hardcoded threshold when analysis uses.

Removing this threshold won't cause significant regression in compilation time, because the worst-case time complexity of the algorithm is still O(# of instructions) for each parameter.
