cuda : clear error after buffer allocation failure

[slaren]

Buffer allocation should be a recoverable error, but the CUDA error was not cleared, which may cause the next operation to fail.

[JohannesGaessler]

My understanding is that this error either occurs when ooming or when there is no CUDA device available.
