Description

As the title suggests, replace deprecated methods for the triangular sparse Linear System Solvers with the new cusparseSpSv method. One example is: https://github.com/NVIDIA/cuda-samples/blob/master/Samples/4_CUDA_Libraries/conjugateGradientPrecond

Research direction

Start with Samples/4_CUDA_Libraries/conjugateGradientPrecond, the example linked in the issue, and identify the triangular sparse Linear System Solver calls it uses. Trace the other solvers covered by the issue and compare their deprecated methods with cusparseSpSv. Done means the affected solvers use the new method instead of the deprecated functions.
