Description
Each launch of a new threat leaves around 10KB of device memory allocated.
Description
===========
Launching a function with a matmul operation in a loop of consecutive threads on CUDA will result in memory overflow on the device, and exception: CUBLAS Error (3): CUBLAS_STATUS_ALLOC_FAILED. Running the same function in a loop on the main thread operates normally, even after 10,000 loops.
On OpenCL, the thread version as the main thread version operate normally.
Full trace logging, indicates the existing device buffers are reused as expected (also in the separate threads).
Arrayfire build: master 3.9.0 b05da694
Back-end: CUDA
Workaround available: No
Reproducibility: Yes

Reproducible Code and/or Steps
------------------------------
```
int main() {
class trainer {
int device;
public:
trainer(const int device) : device(device){};
void train() {
af::setDevice(device);
const af::array a{af::iota(af::dim4(10, 10))};
// size has no impact
af::array c{af::matmul(a, a)};
};
};
try {
af::info();
trainer trainers{af::getDevice()};
for (int i{0}; i < 1000; ++i) {
std::cout << i << ", ";
// OK
trainers.train();
// trows exception
// std::thread t(&trainer::train, std::ref(trainers));
// t.join();
}
} catch (af::exception &ae) { std::cerr << ae.what() << std::endl; }
return 0;
}
```
