NVPTX does not support cycles in static initializers. LLVM produces an error when attempting to codegen such constructs (like self referential structs).
To not produce LLVM UB we instead emit a post-monomorphization error on
Rust side before reaching codegen.
This is achieved by analysing a subgraph of the "mono item graph" that
only contains statics:
1. Calculate the strongly connected components (SCCs) of the graph
2. Check for cycles (more than one node in a SCC or exactly one node
which references itself)
