Embree 4.4 introduces an improvement in the Embree GPU
implementation by dropping shared memory usage in favor
of direct controllable memory transfers. This should allow
addressing several problems spotted in Blender regarding
multithreading and memory corruption when BVH and rendering
happen at the same time. However, to implement such
improvements, the API has changed for several functions, and
this commit adopts Blender code to these changes, making Blender
buildable and functional with all existing Embree 4.X
versions, before and after 4.4.
No functional changes in Blender behavior are expected if
using Embree versions below 4.4.
