Summary: Currently we process events in the regular allocation path and we call cudaEventQuery to check on the events and this path can take some locks in libcuda driver. Its not entirely needed to do process events in the allocation path, we could move this to a background thread and keep processing events regularly and put the freed block to the free list.

Summary:
This diff adds an option to round the non-split blocks in caching allocator so that they can be reused without causing lots of fragmentation for large memory segments.
For example, if we specify max_split memory size as 400MB, then all allocations more than 400MB will not be split. Lets say, we allocated some 1024MB blocks and these are cached in the allocator blocks. If we request a new 500MB block, we round it to nearest power-2-division, thats 512MB, we add default kLargeBuffer of 20MB, that will be 532MB and since 532MB is less than existing 1024MB block, the 1024MB will not be used for this allocation, instead a new 512MB block will be created. In this diff, we provide an option to cofigure the kLargeBuffer for rounding and expose as a configurable option, so 512MB + max_non_split_rounding_size and if thats greater than 1024MB, we will use te 1024MB and we wont create a new 512MB block using cudaMalloc. This option is added so that we can pre-allocate some large blocks so that we can reuse them as much as possible and we dont stall on calling cudaMalloc.

Summary: This diff refactors the code by moving CUDAAllocatorConfig into the header file. This config refactoring is done so that we can use the same config code for CUDA pinned memory as well.
