[mlir][bufferization][NFC] Make `escape` a dialect attribute

[springerm]

Summary

All bufferizable ops that bufferize to an allocation receive a bufferization.escape attribute during TensorCopyInsertion.

did you really intent, "may bufferize to", or will "bufferizes to" be better?

mlir/include/mlir/Dialect/Bufferization/IR/BufferizationBase.td

43

perhaps add one more sentence on clarifying "escape", for example

which means the buffer needs to be allocated outside this method

or

which means the allocation "escape" the scope of the method to the caller

(or something like that

mlir/lib/Dialect/Bufferization/Transforms/TensorCopyInsertion.cpp

Can't we use this condition to guard the whole analysis?

Yes, this is on purpose. Sometimes we don't know what's going to happen at runtime. Then we should return true here. Extended the comment.

     given shape (dynamic or static). It always bufferizes to a new buffer
     allocation of the given shape. The optional `copy` operand specifies the
     contents of the tensors. If no `copy` operand is specified, reading from the
     result of an `alloc_tensor` op yields an undefined value.
 
     If `copy` is specified, no dynamic sizes should be passed, since they are
     the same as the dynamic sizes of the `copy` operand.
 
-    The optional `escape` attribute indicates whether the buffer escapes the
-    parent block or not. In the latter case, the buffer is deallocated at the
-    of the block (during bufferization). In the former case, the buffer is not
-    deallocated and must be deallocated through some other mechanism.
-
     `alloc_tensor` is a helper op for bufferization. The operation is provided
     as an anchor that marks the beginning of a new tensor SSA use-def chain. It
     can be used to control in-place bufferization decisions during One-Shot
     Bufferize: The bufferized result of a `bufferization.alloc_tensor` does not
     alias with any other buffer, so it can be used to resolve read-after-write
     conflicts that would have been introduced by the in-place bufferization of
     another op.
 
     Both dense and sparse tensor types are supported. The result of a
     `bufferization.alloc_tensor` is a tensor value that can be used like any
     other tensor value. In practice, it is often used as the "out" operand of
     another op. E.g.:
 
     ```mlir
     %c = bufferization.alloc_tensor [%d1, %d2] : tensor<?x?xf32, #SparseMatrix>
     %0 = linalg.matmul
       ins(%a, %b: tensor<?x?xf32, #SparseMatrix>, tensor<?x?xf32, #SparseMatrix>)
       outs(%c: tensor<?x?xf32, #SparseMatrix>) -> tensor<?x?xf32, #SparseMatrix>
     ```
   }];
