Description

Describe the bug

There are some naming inconsistencies in the generic dense cuSOLVER API, where some Xroutine functions are wrapped instead as routine.

Xsytrs

https://github.com/JuliaGPU/CUDA.jl/blob/a9a687cf541c1cdc91e0b6884382f6fd57ceb417/lib/cusolver/src/dense_generic.jl#L125 https://github.com/JuliaGPU/CUDA.jl/blob/a9a687cf541c1cdc91e0b6884382f6fd57ceb417/lib/cusolver/src/dense_generic.jl#L152

Xtrtri

Xlarft

https://github.com/JuliaGPU/CUDA.jl/blob/a9a687cf541c1cdc91e0b6884382f6fd57ceb417/lib/cusolver/src/dense_generic.jl#L205

Research direction
The issue identifies three inconsistent function names in lib/cusolver/src/dense generic.jl. The fix involves renaming 'Xsytrs' to 'sytrs', 'Xtrtri' to 'trtri', and 'Xlarft' to 'larft' to match the naming convention used elsewhere in the API. Ensure all references to these functions are updated accordingly.
